  1. Acquired 1962 Olympia SM7 Portable Typewriter (Olympia Werke A.G.)

    Serial Number: 2161560
    Italic Pica No. 31 typeface, tabulator, carriage shift, 88 characters

    Acquired via thrift on April 10, 2026. It finally fills my itch to have an italic typeface for use in personal correspondence. It’s in spectacular starting condition though a bit gamey, but this should clean up nicely. It immediately needed a bit of forming on the carriage lock and a new ribbon, but it’s generally ready to be in the regular rotation.
