Description:
Purchased from a fellow collector (who also serviced it for me), this is a fantastic example of an Odell 2. The nickel is in very good shape, with only a bit of pitting at the one end, and the gold on top is almost complete. The key legend was missing but has been replaced with an accurate reproduction. Fully functional, but for display only. And no serial numbers for these index typewriters.

I'm a Canadian book editor and typewriter collector with over fifty typewriters, ranging from an 1890 Odell 2 to a 1965 Facit TP1. I also own and operate Ocean View Typewriters, a typewriter shop, out of Nova Scotia, Canada.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Odell 2 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Odell Serial Number page and the Odell 2 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
