Description:
Though it arrived to me as a box of parts from the Bob Aubert collection of Delran, NJ, all of the pieces were in immaculate shape for an Oliver. New feed rollers and rubber on the platen, and many of the parts looked to be re-plated. I believe Bob may have even screen-printed the decals on the paper table (I've seen his screens for other makes and models, including an Oliver 2). Once I got it fully re-assembled, it works like a dream, and is hands-down the nicest, shiniest Oliver I've ever come across. So, I decided to gift this one to my kid, Oliver. I've been waiting for the perfect machine, and this is it! (July 2023).

RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Oliver 3 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Oliver Serial Number page and the Oliver 3 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
