1968 Olivetti Lettera DL Serial # 4615413 1968 Olivetti Lettera DL typewriter, Serial # 4615413 Joseph Teague's 1968 Olivetti Lettera DL typewriter. 2025-06-18 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Joseph Teague: 1968 Olivetti Lettera DL Serial # 4615413 Purchased from a vendor in Italy after falling in love with the typeface. I probably overpaid a bit but the machine is in good working order and sees daily use, so I can't complain. The tactile experience is fantastic; it's a well-balanced machine that is just a joy to use. Now that I'm used to the keyboard I can type almost as quickly as I can on a computer. It came with the original case; it is mold-free, with no fabric splitting or detaching, and two zippers in good working order (which, from what I've heard, means I lucked out).
