Description:
It is strange to me that the black crinkle finish Olympias are relatively difficult to find, compare to the greens, browns, burgundies, etc. But they do shine-up nicely! Even better when they have senatorial typeface on them! This one was used for many years as decor in an 1850s farmhouse in Schwenksville, PA, where I found it in April 2026.

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.
