1956 Olympia SF Serial # 5-2741 1956 Olympia SF typewriter, Serial # 5-2741 Hubertus Schott's 1956 Olympia SF typewriter. 2021-11-01 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Hubertus Schott: 1956 Olympia SF Serial # 5-2741 Update: No longer the oldest SF in the database!
Another very ordinary Olympia SF, though in good optical condition. It does not work properly at the moment due to remnants of disintegrated foam in the mechanics. The only thing that makes this machine interesting is the fact that it is currently the oldest SF in the database.

Actually working with computers in my professional life I take the old mechanics as a compensation. I prefer machines manufactured before WWII, but I don't despise beautiful and good working typewriters from the fifties and sixties like e.g. the Olympia Splendid.



RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Olympia SF on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Olympia Serial Number page and the Olympia SF By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
