Wait, don't I already have a green SM3...? This one is pica, other is elite, so it's not the same! This one also has some slightly different keys than my other SM3s. There is a degree/division key, and above the period is a tall, straight line instead of another period. Odd! I might keep it just because of those keys, but I'm not sure.
The real treasure, though, is the ephemera that came with it. Now I've got a copy of the Olympia type styles booklet, and there are also pamphlets for the SM3, SG1, and an electric model! I will try to get them scanned and added to this gallery later.

I've been collecting typewriters since 2010. I currently have 100+ machines in my possession. A little over half of them reside in my "personal" collection, while the rest are machines I intend to clean up for sale, or are long-term restoration projects (I'm looking at you, Olivers and Foxes!).
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.
