1961 Olympia SM7 Serial # 1867657 1961 Olympia SM7 typewriter, Serial # 1867657 Steven Blake's 1961 Olympia SM7 typewriter. 2022-01-01 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Steven Blake: 1961 Olympia SM7 Serial # 1867657 This early SM7 has perhaps the hardest platen of any typewriter I have come across, but that doesn't distract from the exceptional tying experience that Olympia's are known for. And I don't find the carriage-shift to be an impediment to my enjoyment either. The SM7's print quality is first rate; with the 11 CPI Senatorial typeface on this machine perfectly suited for the kind of business correspondence and other light office duty uses these machines were expected to handle in their day.

Lawyer and recently acknowledged typewriter addict. It all started with an IBM Personal Typewriter, followed by a Smith-Corona Galaxie Deluxe, an Adler Universal 20, and then, well, you know the rest.


RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Olympia SM7 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Olympia Serial Number page and the Olympia SM7 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
