Description:
Purchased with a Smith-Corona Galaxie Deluxe for $25 (total) in Buckley, WA on 4/18/15. It cleaned up very nicely with just a toothbrush and dishwashing soap (handwashing, not machine). It has the date of sale (?) 5-5-56 on the right corner of the ribbon cover.

I love collecting and researching portable typewriters. Author of Portable Typewriters, Boxing the Space Needle, and Mid--Century Portable Typewriter Spotter's Guide. I especially enjoy mid-century portables, and those that need a little love. Member of the Lake City Lions since 2014.
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.
