197x Olivetti T Serial # 5715494 197x Olivetti T typewriter, Serial # 5715494 Kewin Sanfridsson's 197x Olivetti T typewriter. 2025-01-09 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Kewin Sanfridsson: 197x Olivetti T Serial # 5715494 It's a Dora, no it's a Lettera 31, No it's a Olivetti T! But to be honest I really enjoy this Olivetti compared to the Olivetti Lettera 31/Underwood 315 (both I have actually tried), I know it's the same typewriter but with a different badge but I still somehow like it more, odd. I don't know if it's ok to put it as a new model but the Dora and Lettera 31 are the same machine just with a different badge right? and they are different models here on TWDB. Anyways it types very well and smoothly. Just a new colour ribbon and it's like new except for a little scuff beside the carriage return lever. It's not a very common version of the Lettera 31 from what I have noticed. During my 3 years of typewriter collecting I have only encountered 2 (both on internet) while the Lettera 31 especially the one with the Olivetti only badge exists and come up as often as tidal waves almost. Ok, maybe a slight saturation but you get my point.

Cheers!

Hi my name is Kewin and I'm a 24 years old from Sweden. I have a few hobbies like drawing and playing guitar but I do also like myself some project here and there which is where my interest in typewriters fits in. I have always collected things through my life but I did not expect typewriters to be my next big passion in collecting. I started collecting typewriters in the beginning of 2022 and so far I have 95* of them (4 of which is currently disassembled) . I find it really enjoyable to pickup a typewriter at a thrift store/second hand and starting to clean it up and get it to a working condition to the best of my ability and knowledge. (Excuse all the dog hairs in my pictures, I do actually try to remove the hair before taking the pictures. xD) Cheers!


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