Apparently, the serial numbers listed on the Typewriter Database are for January 1st of each year. That means that this Olivetti is a 1956 model, not a 1957 model. Either way, it was most likely sold by The Typewriter Clinic.

This dust cover is from a British Olivetti (coming soon)
The round box contains:

I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one who has to remind myself that if the SN lies between those given for, say, 1950 and 1951, then it's a 1950 model.
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteGreat site!
Would you have a carrying case for a Olivetti Lettera 22? If so, what might the price be?
If you don’t have a case, can you suggest where I might find one?
With thanks,
Douglas
