Description:
To the folks who complain they can’t find anything in the wild, I recommend to just be patient. I was hunting for 2 years before this gem came along. It felt like the reward for months of fruitless searching.
The photos in the sunlight better represent the true color. It needed no cleaning, nor does it have the “grinding” I’ve heard all SM3s have. I handle this one with care and it is a joy to type on.

Typewriter aficionado (aflicionado?) located in the U.S. Midwest. Freshly retired, I am often asked what I will do with my time? If they could see my typewriter collection, they wouldn’t ask!
I enjoy finding, fixing, and using typewriters.
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.
