Description:
This is one of the very few first series (round black keys) Olivetti Lettera 22 typewriter with pink body. The color was factory original, NOT a repainted. The cursive Italic font makes this specimen even more rare and desirable.

I have been an Italian typewriter collector for many many years. At that time, I loved very old typewriters from late 1800s to early 1900s. After a break of a few years I returned to collect typewriters but no longer so old, I prefer now the design of the 40's, 50's and 60's. Yes, I am an affectionate collector of Olivetti, of course, but I'm attracted to all the other brands from that period, not just Italian.
