19xx Olympia SM2 Serial # xxxxxx 19xx Olympia SM2 typewriter, Serial # xxxxxx Feli Lessel's 19xx Olympia SM2 typewriter. 2026-10-24 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Feli Lessel: 19xx Olympia SM2 Serial # xxxxxx This article is to be completed soon. SN and typeface will be added later today, hopefully (as of 24.10.)
Recently scored two typewriters on a flea market, one of them being this SM2(? Still to be verified) in standard QWERTZ. It is in fairly good shape, types easily but it does show some sort of white corrosion on multiple parts. In addition, the step-back button doesn't work and the edge override button likes to stick.

Originally involved in photography, repairing and collecting old cameras. Now looking to do similar for typewriters as well as mechanical calculating machines. Who knows what's next...


RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Olympia SM2 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Olympia Serial Number page and the Olympia SM2 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
