1937 Olympia Progress Serial # 150751 1937 Olympia Progress typewriter, Serial # 150751 Sergei Viktorovich's 1937 Olympia Progress typewriter. 2017-01-25 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Sergei Viktorovich: 1937 Olympia Progress Serial # 150751 Great "Progress" by "Olympia".
This typewriter is differ from later "Olympia"s not only externally, but also by the feelings of typing.
It has a colour selector, three-stage line spacing.
Top of typewriter is configured not as a folding cover, and a rotary wings.
The body is not stamped, but cast.
On the front side there is an interesting decal "OLYMPIA Typewriter Company". It gives me a reason to believe, that is an export "Olympia".
The original layout is QWERTY with "@", many fractional nembers and signs of dollar, the yen and the pound, but now it converted to a cyrillic layout. Original keys are covered with cyrillic stencils and rings.
In general, this is the most pleasant black portable "Olympia", I have ever senn before.
In all senses and parameters it likely not a later versions of a portable "Olympia"s, but a "Kappel VA" typewriter.
