Description:
I bought this rusty, corroded SG-1 on sale for $29.00 at an antique mall in Chadd's Ford, PA in December of 2023. It is a mess, but the price was right. The mathematical keyset is interesting and unusual, but even more so are the strategically-placed keys embossed with either 1 or 2 bumps, assumedly to orient the typist's fingers. [Thoroughly cleaned and serviced in January, 2024.]

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.
