Description:
I got this 1957 Olympia SM-3 in exceptional shape from a seller in Havertown, PA, in January of 2022. Excellent shape! Even the case is in near-mint condition. It was originally sold by the Barry Typewriter Company at 6204 Germantown Ave., which is in NW Philadelphia. I had not previously come across that local typewriter shop... though Google maps now shows that it is nothing but a torn-down empty lot.

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.
