1970 Olivetti Lettera 31 Serial # 5902417 1970 Olivetti Lettera 31 typewriter, Serial # 5902417 Craig Bishop's 1970 Olivetti Lettera 31 typewriter. 2025-06-14 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Craig Bishop: 1970 Olivetti Lettera 31 Serial # 5902417 This is from a local estate sale. It was missing the ribbon cover, but I could tell without checking the mfg. label that it was an Olivetti - I found a DORA replacement online that fit perfectly, but I'm still considering this a 31. Sometimes, I wish my 32s were as snappy and well-tuned as this machine - it's great!
