Description:
A 1970 Oympia Traveller made in Western Germany. I purchased this from eBay in August 2023 and then had it serviced by Ocean View Typewriters.
It has the features of a Traveller de Luxe but no evidence that there was a Traveller de Luxe badge on the right side of the typewriter.
It took me a few months to get the hang of typing on this machine to get an even imprint. I need to use a good typing technique and use cardstock as a backing to get a good imprint. Once I discovered that the backing needed to be cardstock, it was a game changer. Typeface is script #69.

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