Description:
This typewriter earns all the hype - a masterpiece of Italian design and manufacturing. Types almost as well as its larger counterpart, the Studio 44, but as far as compact portables go, nothing else gives you the spring and snap of a Lettera 22 - an obvious must-own for any serious collector. Beyond being a solid workhorse, this gorgeous piece turns heads like an American girl in Italy.
Writers: Johnny Carson, Bob Dylan, Sylvia Plath, Gore Vidal
