Description:
Picked up this Olivetti Lettera 31 from Gramercy Typewriter in NYC on 2026-08. In great serviced / working condition, types very nicely. This is my first typewriter since I was a kid tapping on my grandparents' typewriters decades ago.
Unlike most other Lettera 31 I see online, this one includes the tabulator function seen on the Lettera 32. I don't know if that was a factory upgrade option or what, but it makes this ultraportable much more useful to me personally.

RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Olivetti Lettera 31 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Olivetti Serial Number page and the Olivetti Lettera 31 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
