Description:
Gray crinkle paint and brown Bakelite keys with the excellent Congress Pica typeface. Very light touch, a very fast machine working perfectly. The platen is rock hard but allows good imprints even with the low quality nylon ribbon. This machine begs you to use it. My first Olympia but it won't be my last. Came with the curvy wooden case.

Very new to the typosphere, but enjoying the hunt...
