Description:
I got this very fine, chocolate-colored Olympia SM-3 from an antique shop in the Drexel Hill neighborhood of West Philadelphia, near the Garrettford stop of the 102 SEPTA line. It seems that the antique shop got it from a garage sale or estate sale, as the original owner's name-label was also within Drexel Hill. It needed a light cleaning, and the usual rubber replacements--and the inside of the case was a little funky, but otherwise it is one of the nicest Olympias I've had.

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.
