Description:
I'm very fond of the simple design and lack of distracting features in the Splendid 33. It's all typewriter, no gimmicks. This one was a real looker and typed like a dream. Bought 18 November 2024 and sold on 23 January 2025 for peanuts. :(
Elite, UK keyboard.

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.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Olympia Splendid 33 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Olympia Serial Number page and the Olympia Splendid 33 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
