Description:
This was one of my first typewriters as an adult. Unfortunately it sustained a broken escapement during transit and had to be sent back to the seller. Bought 16 November 2024, returned a week later. Pica typeface.

My grandmother taught me how to touch type when I was 13 after giving me a blue Brother typewriter. Now, 40 years later, after getting my paws on an Olympia, I am ditching my laptop for all my writing.
