Description:
No introduction needed, the first step - although an evolutionary rather than revolutionary one - by Olympia toward producing some of the best portable typewriters ever made.
This first production year model is missing a somewhat needed part. No matter, it's something I'll get around to fabricating when I've got nothing better to do. Yeah, I'm going to let you figure it out. ;-)

RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Olympia SM1 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Olympia Serial Number page and the Olympia SM1 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
