Good shape. Missing two spring clasps to hold back cover on. Correction, two spring clips on back panel replaced thanks to the generosity and skill of Typewriter Minutes who custom fabricated them for me!

A lover of the written word, I was bitten by the typewriter bug at the beginning of 2019 when I embarked on a Joyful Odyssey to track down a vintage Olympia SM 7/8/9, (I didn't know the model number at the time) that my mother had owned and which I had used to type my college applications in the late 1980's. I have acquired quite a number since, and have enjoyed learning about the history, mechanics, and true variety of these machines.
