0 Points, Typewriter Hunter

Beerbrewing boozecruise bartender, bottlingmachine inventor and proud owner of an Olympia Model 8 IMPORT, serial number at the top 356543 and at the bottom 196980.

After staring for an hour at pictures here, I'm guessing it's a 1940 MY import model. The Å Ä and Ö are located on the bottom row. It does not have the bakelite levers, they are all metal. It is in awesome condition.

20 odd years ago I was moving pianos, safes, phone booths and other heavy stuff normal people could not carry, around Stockholm. An old man gave this to me because he had no need for it. After that it sat forgotten in my sisters basement for 20 odd years before I last week got it home to Turku, Finland. Just love the thing.
