Description:
Made in Japan.
I cleaned this typewriter for a local community arts space.
Plastic shell - very light.
The typewriter's plastic spooling spindles were both broken. I made substitutes from paper clips.
Typewriter has an "Automatic" spacing key (which is very fun).
The serial number is located under the carriage on the right, stamped on frame.

I'm a novice collector with a very small collection of mostly nonfunctional typewriters. I enjoy tinkering and repairs, so I am slowly but surely putting these typewriters back into service.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Olympia (Nakajima) Olympiette S10 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Olympia (Nakajima) Serial Number page and the Olympia (Nakajima) Olympiette S10 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
