Description:
Typewriter purchased at the flea market in Poland in 2023. Probably from Sweden. Not sure if it is DORA - it lacks a TAB key and paper support in the back, my model guess is based on that. Made in Spain. First typewriter in my collection missing number 1 key - lower case letter L has to be used instead.

I read a Tom Hanks book "Uncommon Type". Then I saw "California Typewriter" movie with friends. Spark became fire and next day I visited small ads web page. No research, no comparison. Nice looking machine, offer close to me, so I can see it before I buy it and here it is: OLYMPIA Traveller de Luxe S. I like history, mechanical engineering, old cars and motorbikes, military stuff. So typewriter fits quite good!
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Olivetti DORA on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Olivetti Serial Number page and the Olivetti DORA By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
