Description:
This machine is a bit of an oddball. At first glance it appears to be a Monica, but notice the carriage return lever is that from an SM8/SM9. It also has the manually set tab stops as seen on an SM3. We think this machine may be a prototype, perhaps an "SM6", but a lot of mystery still surrounds this particular machine.

This gallery represents the machines owned by good friends Dirk Plante and Sean Doole, who reside in British Columbia, Canada. Together they have established Venneburg Typewriters, a partnership that to date has seen over 400 typewriters since 2009. Here you will find the machines that are currently still in possession or that have come and gone since December 2017.
***As of July 2020, this collection now also represents pieces from the collection of Troy Krahn!
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Olympia Monica on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Olympia Serial Number page and the Olympia Monica By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
