Description:
My second SM7. Why, you ask? The lovely blue shell of course. This one left the Olympia factory sometime in 1963, and it was a bit dirtier and showed more signs of use than my first, but after a thorough cleaning, a coat of automotive wax, new feet (courtesy of an eBay seller), plus replacement rubber bushings all the way around, it types (and looks) like its younger (and spiffier!) self. The Senatorial typeface is always easy on the eyes too.

Lawyer and recently acknowledged typewriter addict. It all started with an IBM Personal Typewriter, followed by a Smith-Corona Galaxie Deluxe, an Adler Universal 20, and then, well, you know the rest.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Olympia SM7 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Olympia Serial Number page and the Olympia SM7 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
