1974 Montgomery Ward (Olivetti) Escort 66 Serial # 2059628 1974 Montgomery Ward (Olivetti) Escort 66 typewriter, Serial # 2059628 Gerald Ambrose's 1974 Montgomery Ward (Olivetti) Escort 66 typewriter. 2018-02-04 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Gerald Ambrose: 1974 Montgomery Ward (Olivetti) Escort 66 Serial # 2059628 I bought this at an antique store I stop in from time to time. It was under a desk in its case and I just thought to have a look at it. I do not ordinarily even consider machines this new, but for some reason I wanted to ask what the price was. The person at the counter went to ask the owner and as they left I noticed that it had a script typeface.
Once I got it home and gave it a good test, its actually quite a nice typer!

I started collecting typewriters several years ago and it started with a late 1960s Smith-Corona Sterling portable that I got as a gift.
