Description:
This is a first year mode 72 with blue knobs and keycaps with serial number #4009400, which is so early in the production run that it has the silver margin tabs. Not functional for the moment. Still on the way to Hong Kong, finger cross it arrives in one piece.. more to follow up.

I am Hong Konger, and in just less than 6 months after I obtained my first Olympic De Luxe typewriter, I acquired 4 Selectric I's, 3 Selectric III's, and 1 Personal Typrwriter ..
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the IBM Selectric I on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the IBM Serial Number page and the IBM Selectric I By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
