Description:
This is the first version Lettera 36, with the round keys; the second version--which are way more common--had square keys. I wouldn't recommend anyone start out collecting with one of these; the excessive repairs and adjustments are not for a beginner level. The carrying case is plastic, so are the cases' hinges: those will give out eventually. This machine has an Elite typeface. Made in Spain. Update 3/8/19 sold this typewriter to Robert from Fond Du Lac, Wisconsin.

I've fixed and sold many typewriters. There are three that I love to use for writing: 1930 Underwood No.5. 195 1 Remington Quiet-Riter, 1971 Hermes 3000.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Olivetti Lettera 36 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Olivetti Serial Number page and the Olivetti Lettera 36 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
