197X Olivetti Lettera 25 Serial # 9818241 197X Olivetti Lettera 25 typewriter, Serial # 9818241 Dimitris Nikou's 197X Olivetti Lettera 25 typewriter. 2023-02-02 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Dimitris Nikou: 197X Olivetti Lettera 25 Serial # 9818241 A Lettera 25 that I found and bought for a friend, that is why I list it as a "sighting". Maybe the "futuristic" design of Mario Bellini appeals to many people but this machine really looks "bulky" in a way and I don't think I would buy it for myself. The specific machine was manufactured in Spain, it is in overall good condition, it has Greek QWERTY keyboard and a sweet carrying case. Trying to date the machine I find it difficult to set an exact year, so I just ended up with a 197X because most probably is a mid 70's typewriter.

Writer and blogger from Athens, Greece. I own a small collection of typewriters, most of my machines are functional and I try to repair any with problems that keeps it from typing. For me, it is important for a typewriter not just to sit on a shelve for display, but to be able to type when I want to. On the links below you will find my blogs and social media profiles. Feel free to follow me and get in touch if you want. I am always happy to communicate :)
