Description:
Ohio antique mall purchase. I was attracted to this machine by the aesthetics--style and color. It had the look and feel of a European machine. I had no Olivetti-Underwood machine in my collection. The label in the case said both typewriter and case made in the Olivetti plant in Barcelona, Spain.

Changed my collecting priorities to portables except the Olympia SG3 with the cyrillic keyboard and my Underwood No. 5--those beasts are too heavy. Sold my earlier typewriters to a friend. I had too many. I use carbon paper for typefaces when the machines have faint ribbons. I take photos with my Canon Powershot SX50HS (50x optical zoom and macro settings). I find it difficult doing typeface specimens since I use a Corsair K70 RGB gaming keyboard plugged into my 15-in Macbook. I got it solely for the deep key travel. I have fun hunting machines in antique malls in Michigan, Ohio, and Indiana.
