Description:
A friend picked this up for me at a thrift shop. Big boy got a good cleaning and now is performing like it use to. My first standard size and I"m impressed with the robust build meant for heavy use, day in, day out. It has small 12 cpi type, which seems counter to the size of the beast. The keyboard features fractions, a degree symbol, and a few that I don't understand, like an underscored "TH". Sold

Get to work!
I am a retired graphic artist and I began collecting typewriters in 2021. I like machines from the 50s and 60s. Other interests include music, film making, fly fishing and tinkering with classic VWs.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Olympia SG3 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Olympia Serial Number page and the Olympia SG3 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
