1902 Oliver 3 Serial # 35247 1902 Oliver 3 typewriter, Serial # 35247 Mark Schrad's 1902 Oliver 3 typewriter. 2023-04-03 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Mark Schrad: 1902 Oliver 3 Serial # 35247 I had originally gotten this Oliver 3 in a package deal with a fellow collector in Royersford, PA in February of 2023. It needed some work, so I left it in the basement workshop and forgot about it. By early April, I pulled it out, only to realize that it is one of the first Oliver 3s--and the earliest on this here database. So I fixed it up, gave it some new feet, built some new wooden ribbon spools, and got it back to functional. Obviously, it is still missing some things--right and left keytops, one paper finger, etc., but it actually works fairly well.
