1958 Olympia SM3 Serial # 1544898 1958 Olympia SM3 typewriter, Serial # 1544898 Liz Alexander's 1958 Olympia SM3 typewriter. 2022-07-11 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Liz Alexander: 1958 Olympia SM3 Serial # 1544898 The carriage for this particular machine is a little wonky, as the keys don't seem to be able to hit the platen. Otherwise, in great condition! Army/pea/dark green, with rough texture on the body but smooth keys. Would be a fantastic machine if I can figure out how to fix the carriage alignment! If I get it fixed, I will upload a typeface specimen.

Hi! I'm an unpublished author who has fallen in love with typewriters! I'm married and in my 40s. Looking to improve on my collection, and help update the database with my finds.
