Description:
This has all the features of a semi-standard Olivetti Studio 44 except that it is a "double gothic" typewriter, an all-caps typewriter meant for transcribing telegraphic messages in ships and trains. It was used for business, classroom, and military operations. I have yet to encounter another Olivetti Studio 44 mill typewriter, this is definitely a rare find. Made in Ivrea, Italy.

In a parallel universe, I was once the Senior Vice-President of Design (Typewriter Division) at Ing. C. Olivetti & C.,S.p.A., Ivrea, Italy. In the real universe, I'm a Chicago-based casual collector and hunter of Olivetti typewriters, and related ephemera, publications, and film sightings.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Olivetti Studio 44 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Olivetti Serial Number page and the Olivetti Studio 44 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
