By price paid, the most expensive Olympia in my collection. I probably overpaid considering the condition it's in, but at the time I didn't have an Olympia yet with Congress font. The segment needs flushed out before it will type. There's also a bit of surface rust throughout the interior of the machine, and the tops of screws.

I've been collecting typewriters since 2010. I currently have 100+ machines in my possession. A little over half of them reside in my "personal" collection, while the rest are machines I intend to clean up for sale, or are long-term restoration projects (I'm looking at you, Olivers and Foxes!).
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Olympia SM3 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Olympia Serial Number page and the Olympia SM3 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
