197X Olympia Traveller Serial # 15-6653167 197X Olympia Traveller typewriter, Serial # 15-6653167 Javier Vazquez del Olmo's 197X Olympia Traveller typewriter. 2015-06-11 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Javier Vazquez del Olmo: 197X Olympia Traveller Serial # 15-6653167 I wanted to give my sister this beautiful typewriter as a present when she opened a small bank office, but she needed something heavier. Thus, this Olympia sits at home seeing much more typing than at the office, where the Studio 46 my sister scrounged is enjoying a long vacation.

A nice machine, always showing itĀ“s an Olympia: Very solid and no-nonsense, and with a very unique attitude. You could tell itĀ“s an Olympia just by writing a random line with your eyes closed.

The first typewriter I saw was my grandpa´s Olivetti Linea 98 at the office. It was just a curio for me. Then I was given a Nakajima, which I didn´t use and my grandfather took it from me because it was easier to handle than the bulky Linea 98. Now I own that typewriter, and I started a little collection in Valladolid, Spain. The Nakajima, which is "my" typewriter only returned home in 2017, almost 20 years later, when he wanted a better typewriter.

A collection that started small grew into something bigger, a nuisace for my family and a great source of satisfaction for me.
