Description:
Bought this one on Catawiki from an Italian vendor. Came included with a bag, dustcover and an Italian instruction manual. As far as I know, this is the earliest known Olivetti Lettera 22. Serial numbering started at 901.234, but it is hard to verify this information. Most online sources copy each other. I guess this info can be found in one of the many Itailian books dedicated to Olivetti, but most are sold out. If anyone can provide me more information on Olivetti serial numbering (on the Lettera, the M80 and the Valentine) that would be much appreciated.
