Description:
This was a beautiful typewriter and a great typer. I bought it on 30 November 2024 and gave it to a friend's young daughter in August '25 for her birthday. I'm told she uses it all the time. :D

My grandmother taught me how to touch type when I was 13 after giving me a blue Brother typewriter. Now, 40 years later, after getting my paws on an Olympia, I am ditching my laptop for all my writing.
