Description:
A professionally serviced/restored 1957 Olympia SM3 manufactured in West Germany. This one has a Congress Elite typeface and currently is running an olive green and brown ink ribbon. It’s honestly a dream machine for me!
I acquired this SM3 as part of a trade for my very rare 1950 Smith Corona Silent with Type 46 Vertical Script that I just happened to come across in an antique mall for $85.

Remember, there’s no shame in being less exploitable.
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.
