1958 Olympia SM3 Serial # 1279463 1958 Olympia SM3 typewriter, Serial # 1279463 Arthur Ureche's 1958 Olympia SM3 typewriter. 2023-05-22 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Arthur Ureche: 1958 Olympia SM3 Serial # 1279463 This always seems like a real sleek model - then I pick up the case and remember that they're heavy bastards and deceptively look light. I was also surprised by how small the font is the first time I saw it on paper in person.

First started using a SMC Galaxie Twelve to type out and paste a zine in high school in the late 80's - I've been picking up typewriters as opportunity presents itself ever since. It's more of a casual hobby than a compulsion. Writing on a typewriter seems just the right speed for not getting ahead of what I have to say.


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.
