1954 Olivetti Lettera 22 Serial # S 615427 1954 Olivetti Lettera 22 typewriter, Serial # S 615427 Dalton Hutchins's 1954 Olivetti Lettera 22 typewriter. 2026-07-09 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Dalton Hutchins: 1954 Olivetti Lettera 22 Serial # S 615427 Lettera 22 with embossed paper plate from the Glasgow factory. It seems to be general knowledge that production of the 22 began in 1954 from Glasgow, but the receipt that came with this typewriter reads November 9, 1953. If I'm reading this receipt right, these guys at the embassy traded in their Royal KMM toward the purchase of this Lettera 22. Always fun to find part of the story behind some of these machines.
