198X Olivetti Lettera 82 Serial # 8186358 198X Olivetti Lettera 82 typewriter, Serial # 8186358 Andrew White's 198X Olivetti Lettera 82 typewriter. 2025-07-12 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Andrew White: 198X Olivetti Lettera 82 Serial # 8186358 This was my first typewriter, which I have since sold.
Olivetti's attempt at a cheaper Hermes Baby clone.
Quite a nice little typer but the very lightweight frame and plastic body do not hold up well to heavy typing.
I knocked it out of alignment once just from typing a little too vigorously.

I'm a graphic designer and printer by trade, living just outside of Newcastle, Australia but I grew up on a sheep farm in central New South Wales. Just down here tinkering with typewriters, drawing pictures, growing veggies in the back garden and hanging out with my fiance and our three cats.
