Description:
I got this pearl white 1963 Olympia SM-5 in July 2022 from a seller in Cherry Hill, NJ. It still has the tag of the original owner, Leonard Cline of Cleveland Ohio, on the bottom of the machine. From there, it made its way to an antique dealer in Tennessee, whose son then moved it to New Jersey, and now to Pennsylvania.

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.
