I am interested in all kinds of old and mechanical things. I like researching the net about the things I am interested in. My typewriter obsession started with an Olympia Robust a couple of weeks ago. Within a few days the fever caught on but I was able to restrict it to Olympia typewriters from 1930 to 1949 (up to early Orbis models). Particularly interested in civilised Olympia military models from now on.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Olympia Robust on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Olympia Serial Number page and the Olympia Robust By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
