Description:
I got this mocha brown 1960 Olympia SM-4 in Laurel Hill, New Jersey, in August 2021. To my surprise, it had the "techno" senatorial typeface. It was incredibly dirty and well-used, and included a few pages of fiction writing by the previous owner. It cleaned-up very nicely, and is a joy to use.

RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Olympia SM4 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Olympia Serial Number page and the Olympia SM4 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
