Description:
I purchased this SF in May 2024 off of eBay specifically to take travelling. Oceanview Typewriters serviced it for me in Fall 2024. It is heavier than my Smith Corona Skyriter that I also bought for travelling but it also has a more solid feel so for some trips, the bit of extra weight is worth it.
Elite typeface.
I've also included a couple of comparison shots with my 1969 Olympia SM9 to see the size difference.

I began collecting in June 2023. I am interested in learning all about typewriters, the different models and the variety of typefaces. My collection spans the decades from the 1910s to the 1970s.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Olympia SF on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Olympia Serial Number page and the Olympia SF By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
