Description:
I got this wide-carriage Oliver 5 from a fellow collector at Herman's typewriter jamboree in 2018. It needs a lot of work and is missing some parts, but it was cheap enough that I justified buying it to myself. [Edit: I did not get around to actually cleaning it up and returning it to functionality until January, 2022.]

RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Oliver 5 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Oliver Serial Number page and the Oliver 5 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
