Description:
Olivetti Studio 42 typewriter with curious original factory embossed grey body, embossed paint for Olivetti typewriters was usually black. Found in poor cosmetic condition but without operational problems. Due to a heavy blow the faceplate was semi-destroyed and it had to be rebuilt. The right side knob is currently missing, I hope to find the spare part, sooner or later.

I have been an Italian typewriter collector for many many years. At that time, I loved very old typewriters from late 1800s to early 1900s. After a break of a few years I returned to collect typewriters but no longer so old, I prefer now the design of the 40's, 50's and 60's. Yes, I am an affectionate collector of Olivetti, of course, but I'm attracted to all the other brands from that period, not just Italian.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Olivetti Studio 42 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Olivetti Serial Number page and the Olivetti Studio 42 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
