Description:
Is there anything left to be said about the later Olympia SM models? Pure workhorses - real tools for real writers. How about that?
Then there's the line space lever. Maybe you have to shave with a straight edge like I do to think this way, but it really does look like the lever's designer was preoccupied with the grooming tool.
This machine was actually a prize won by its first owner through a contest run by an office supply store. The store is still exists, I'm not sure the same can be said about the lucky winner. (see photo)

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.
