1950 Olivetti Lettera 22 Serial # 331945 1950 Olivetti Lettera 22 typewriter, Serial # 331945 Dimitris Nikou's 1950 Olivetti Lettera 22 typewriter. 2024-12-28 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Dimitris Nikou: 1950 Olivetti Lettera 22 Serial # 331945 My second Lettera 22, again from 1950, but this time with a Greek typeface - the variation without the extra Latin letters. It is in great mechanical condition, types flawlessly and smoothly, having only some cosmetic issues due to bad storage over the years. The beautiful case tells the story of this machine, that had been probably used at a branch of a Cypriot company in Sierra Leone before coming back to Cyprus and then to Greece. I must say, I prefer much more the 22's than the 32's.

Writer and blogger from Athens, Greece. I own a small collection of typewriters, most of my machines are functional and I try to repair any with problems that keeps it from typing. For me, it is important for a typewriter not just to sit on a shelve for display, but to be able to type when I want to. On the links below you will find my blogs and social media profiles. Feel free to follow me and get in touch if you want. I am always happy to communicate :)
