A novice collector and "restorer" from the Chicagoland area who is just fascinated with these machines. I'm particularly drawn to the portables of the 50's and 60's. Although we had a typewriter in the house growing up and used one all through school, I really got back into them fairly recently. However, I've had the Smith Corona Standard 8 since the mid-90's - so that is what I call the "first".
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Olympia SM1 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Olympia Serial Number page and the Olympia SM1 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
