1955 Olympia SM2 Serial # 741080 1955 Olympia SM2 typewriter, Serial # 741080 Tas Kyprianou's 1955 Olympia SM2 typewriter. 2023-01-20 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Tas Kyprianou: 1955 Olympia SM2 Serial # 741080 Such a beautiful machine to both look at and type on. I own an SM3 and, to me, the touch is identical. This one has a dinky, Ellite 8 typeface which saved it from being flipped and has earned itself a place in my collection. The SM2s seem to be a lot cheaper than the SM3s. If you can do without tabs, then I'd say save yourself some money and get a hold of a decent SM2.

UK member with Greek Cypriot heritage, living in London.
Relatively new to the hobby - My first machine was an Everest Mod 90 that I bought after watching a Violet Evergarden anime in December 2021.
My collection now consists of 41 machines.

My absolute favourite remains (just) my 1939 Royal KMM. For me, it's both the prettiest and the "warmest" to type on. It has "Majik" (with a nod to Sandy1)
I count my blessings that I am lucky enough to have amassed such a beautiful bunch.


RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Olympia SM2 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Olympia Serial Number page and the Olympia SM2 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
