Description:
This maroon Ico, IMHO, has no serial number.
You cant imagine how hard i've tried to find it (first of all, serial numbers were useful in order to identify your typewriter between a batch of equals at the repair shop, hence, there is no reason at all to put the serial number in a so hidden place you need to dismantle the typewriter just to take a look at).
My other Ico (the red one) has its serial number near the bell, under the typewriter. I've included a similar pic of this typewriter, and obviously there is no serial number there (as in the red one).
I will appreciate any help about this particular and strange point.

RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Olivetti MP1 Ico on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Olivetti Serial Number page and the Olivetti MP1 Ico By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
