Description:
I fixed up this very distressed Underwood-Olivetti Lettera 22 for a typewriter enthusiast. Despite its appearance, it types very nicely and has become her most favored typewriter.
Made in Italy. Serial number is stamped on frame under the carriage on the right.

I'm a novice collector with a very small collection of mostly nonfunctional typewriters. I enjoy tinkering and repairs, so I am slowly but surely putting these typewriters back into service.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Olivetti Lettera 22 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Olivetti Serial Number page and the Olivetti Lettera 22 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
