Description:
I found this lovely Olympia SM3 at Ace Typewriter in Portland. I always stop in every time I am in Portland because Matt McCormack's shop always has interesting typewriters and he is such a pleasure to talk to. This time, he had an Olympia SM3 with the No. 28 Bulletin typeface which I have never seen before. I could not pass it up. Not only is it an uncommon typeface, but it is a serviced machine ensuring years of trouble-free typing.
It did not have a case, but I can use my other SM3 case if needed. However, if anyone has a spare Olympia SM3 case, I am interested in buying it from you.

I recently started collecting typewriters after rediscovering my love for them at an event. I am fortunate to live in an area with a small group of people who appreciate typewriters. We meet bimonthly and share recent finds and host type-ins to let others in our area discover the joy of typewriters.
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.
