1961 Olympia SF Serial # 429378 1961 Olympia SF typewriter, Serial # 429378 Sue MacDonald's 1961 Olympia SF typewriter. 2020-05-03 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Sue MacDonald: 1961 Olympia SF Serial # 429378 Olympia SF, purchased while at Herman's from the wonderful Amanda O.
This is a treasured memento of a wonderful time--but how does it type? It is decent--not my favorite for feel, but fine.
I've left the sticker on it that Amanda placed there--it makes me smile.
I need to fix the case zipper.

Typewriter user since childhood--"Endofthehall Press" (produced a magazine for my big sister, I did) and avid hunter for many years. Partial to portables/ultraportables, but do love my standard models too. I use my typewriters for letters, recipes, lists, stories, pondering, and in art/fabric creations.
