Description:
Another very early Olympia SF with various interesting and unique details, such as shrink varnish, colored mat under the keys, colored segment. Interestingly with a very low serial number outside the number range registered in the Typwriterdatabase. Could this be something like a pre-production model? Is there anybody out there who knows? I would be very grateful!

Actually working with computers in my professional life I take the old mechanics as a compensation. I prefer machines manufactured before WWII, but I don't despise beautiful and good working typewriters from the fifties and sixties like e.g. the Olympia Splendid.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Olympia SF on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Olympia Serial Number page and the Olympia SF By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
