Description:
This was my first typewriter purchase in 2015. I bought it from retired teacher who got it as a present from her parents at the day when she graduated from the high school. During the 58 years she used it rarely, so it is in pristine condition.

TYPEWRITERS...
Doesn't they look sexy to you? Such a number of different shapes, forms and colors.... All those complicated and not so complicated mechanisms, levers and arms, gears and sprockets... how they became alive and start dancing at your fingertip punches...
It started on December 2015 when I bought my second typewriter... Beaten, damaged, dusty... I took it apart, cleaned, repaired. Since then it became as an obsession... Now there are more than dozen.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Optima P1 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Optima Serial Number page and the Optima P1 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
