1969 Olivetti Studio 45 Serial # 1386356 1969 Olivetti Studio 45 typewriter, Serial # 1386356 Matt Watkins's 1969 Olivetti Studio 45 typewriter. 2024-03-25 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Matt Watkins: 1969 Olivetti Studio 45 Serial # 1386356 I acquired this in a lot of 16 typewriters and documented it after a ultra-portable Lettera 33. Weirdly, this larger semi-portable feels a little less solid and imprecise. Green color is kinda cool.

First hunt and pecked on a 60's Smith Corona Sterling my mother had and Took typing class in 1982 on an IBM Selectric as a means to get into the computer class my sophomore year. Probably reached 60wpm. Once I moved over to computers I never really went back to typewriters, but 40 years later I find myself enjoying the sound, feel, and smell of a now-vintage Selectric 2 and just picked up a 1955 Silent Super. We'll see how far down the rabbit hole I go....
