Description:
Made in Yougoslavia. The frame has a casting stamp of 1975, so I will assume it was manufactured in that year of after. It has a Canada French keyboard layout.
Found locally in a pristine condition, as if it had never been used, or not very much. In fact, the escapement was gummed up with what appears to be the original grease from the factory. The rubber on the platen is in fantastic condition.
This model types freely, although I would have wished for greater key resistance and a snappy typebar action.

Bonjour! I am from the region of Montreal, Quebec and moved to Ottawa, Ontario in 1992.
Amateur watchmaker and machinist, I love anything mechanical, hydraulic or electric. I have restored American and Canadian clocks and small lathes, milling machines and a jig bore.
Most of my typewriters have French Canadian QWERTY keyboards, with some exception for rare finds.
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.
