Description:
Delivered from South Florida, another Goodwill online acquisition that I could not pass up with its SPANISH and even French diacritics.
All metal body. Hardshell plastic top cover with handle.
I am delighted to be logging the first KOFA albeit a rebrand. Research suggests it is a "clone" or "imitation" Olympia Traveller C, but I don't have any experience with the Traveller C. Photos look similar.

I love to write and found that writing on a typewriter is the most enjoyable and distraction-free way of doing it. I started with an Alphasmart, then moved to a Royalite, then to an Olympia SM5. The Olympia kept me fully satisfied for a good seven years until I got the bit by the collecting bug. Now I am slowly amassing my own personal typewriter museum. Typewriters are like personal printing presses. My partner is an engineer who can fix and clean any typewriter, so we make a great team.
