Description:
Green machine with Portuguese characters. Suffered an injury which cracked its bottom which I have repaired with epoxy. Same injury likely took its back quarter cover. Operation is not impacted. While not a machine I'd use to write a novel I find this machine to be on Pat if not superior to the SCM Corsair.

A lover of the written word, I was bitten by the typewriter bug at the beginning of 2019 when I embarked on a Joyful Odyssey to track down a vintage Olympia SM 7/8/9, (I didn't know the model number at the time) that my mother had owned and which I had used to type my college applications in the late 1980's. I have acquired quite a number since, and have enjoyed learning about the history, mechanics, and true variety of these machines.
