Date is based on typewritersdatabase.com lists, which say "up to 904000: 1950". I see others on this web site have drawn similar conclusions.
However, The serial numbers for Olivetti Lettera 22 go from 999999 (end of 1953) to 116999 (end of 1954). I am wondering whether it is possible that the numbers reset to 000001 beginning of 1954? I woudn't think so, but am raising the possibility.
