1960 Olympia SG1 Serial # 7-553079 1960 Olympia SG1 typewriter, Serial # 7-553079 LaDonna Qualtieri's 1960 Olympia SG1 typewriter. 2023-10-03 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of LaDonna Qualtieri: 1960 Olympia SG1 Serial # 7-553079 Just unboxed from eBay. I bought it with the intent to have it restored. The paper support is missing but all else appears intact. It types now but with a slow moving carriage when tabbing, a loose feel to the knobs, and a new yet incorrectly installed ribbon. I think this is the No. 89 italic 11 pitch typeface. It has degree, division, and square root symbols. And a pointy hat thing. ^^^^^

I have many pen pals and correspond via handwritten and typed letters. I have a (painful) sitting disability and type while standing- UPDATE! I can also type on an ultraportable I set up on my bed. Typing and collecting machines with different typefaces keeps me busy and happily distracted from the difficulties in life-fountain pens, too, and I can write legibly, in cursive, while laying down. Join me on Type Pals and register for the monthly postcard exchanges. The “Cat Mews†is a quarterly publication of the philatelic topical group Cats On Stamps Study Unit (COSSU), for which I am a column contributor. My cats are Wiffle Wizard and Urushi (Rushi) Blizzard, aka the Blizzard Sisters.


RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Olympia SG1 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Olympia Serial Number page and the Olympia SG1 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
