Description:
I got this green 1954 Olympia SM-3 with Congress Pica typeface from the estate of a fellow typewriter collector in Lakehurst, New Jersey, in March of 2022. Hence, the beach shots from nearby Seaside Heights on the Jersey Shore. Congress Pica truly is one of my favorite typefaces--it reminds me somewhat of Oliver's printtype typeface.

RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Olympia SM3 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Olympia Serial Number page and the Olympia SM3 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
