Olympia 1958 SM3 Portable Typewriter Deluxe W/ Rare Cursive Type
For your consideration is a very nice rare and hard to find "Cursive" German made Olympia Typewriter.
These are known for being some of the best well designed and constructed typewriters of their time.
I have sold numerous typewriters on Ebay over the years from many different manufactures.
Including my most recent which was my first Hermie!!!
So I kind ...of know my typewriters, but I am by my no means and expert.
I do know enough to be able to check all the functions on it to make sure they all work properly.
This typewriter works great except for the carriage tends to stick mostly when your typing towards the end of a line.
Please refer to Pic #9 you can see how I typed the same letter all the way across and were it sticks.
I'm thinking a carriage adjustment of some sort would correct this issue. I just don't know enough how to do it.
Other wise all the functions work as they should. I did type all 4 banks shifted and not. The keys don't stick and are snappy and responsive.
The ribbon has not been replaced but still types pretty well.
The cosmetic condition inside and out is great, you can easily determine that looking closely at the pictures.
The Olympia serial # (1195582) database dates it 1958.
The case I would say is in good condition it opens and locks proper (sorry no key). The hinges are secure and work well. The typewriter itself locks easily and securely and unlocks from the case properly..
Please note this typewriter is being sold as is due the carriage sticking issue.
Any questions please contact me
