Description:
Pre-1910 model 5. Note that there is no backspace or tab and that the keycaps have a celluloid cover (rather than being solid celluloid). I adapted ribbon spools from adding machine ribbon spools. The typewriter functions well. Found in the Kansas City area.

RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Oliver 5 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Oliver Serial Number page and the Oliver 5 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
