Description:
Bought this Lettera 22 from the son of the original owner. The case was in great shape and the zipper (mostly) works. Also came with original vinyl dust cover.
Made in Italy in 1963 (Ivrea). Mechanically almost perfect. Just the occasional, characteristic Olivetti skip.

I live in San Francisco where I do scientific research and collect old typewriter (both English and Russian). My current favorite is a 1950's Smith-Corona Skyriter. Ask me again tomorrow and I will have a different answer.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Olivetti Lettera 22 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Olivetti Serial Number page and the Olivetti Lettera 22 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
