Description:
Craigslist find, a student was moving from Portland to Salt Lake City. There were some issues, notably a missing screw on the paper bail.
Note, I've identified this as a 1962 SM5 based on SN and another SM5 gallery on this site. If you know different, please correct me.

I was gifted a Hermes Rocket with a Spanish keyboard and a Optima Elite 3.
Feel fortunate for that introduction to typewriters and re-introduction to typewriting.
The herd continues to grow.

RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Olympia SM5 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Olympia Serial Number page and the Olympia SM5 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
