1954 Olympia SM3 Serial # 443655 1954 Olympia SM3 typewriter, Serial # 443655 Mark Schrad's 1954 Olympia SM3 typewriter. 2023-08-30 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Mark Schrad: 1954 Olympia SM3 Serial # 443655 A nice Olympia SM-3 in that gorgeous cranberry color. This one was a wreck when I got it: carriage seized solid, drawband unattached, flecks of White Out, no tab key, no case. Granted, I could only fix the first two of those, but now it is a very nice and snappy typer again. Purchased from a former UPenn professor of the history of science in the Mount Airy neighborhood of Philadelphia, PA in August, 2023.
