Working Olympia Progress Typewriter from 1938
Seller's notes: "These typewriters are becoming increasingly rare, especially in working condition. This model, which predates the SM1, looks quite similar. It's fully operational, with all keys moving smoothly and freely. The feed rollers and platen are also in good working order. There are some age-related marks on it. Although I don't have the space to repaint it, I prefer the original paint as it adds to its historical charm. These marks tell the story of its journey over the years. I've tried to capture everything in the photos, but if you need more information or have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me. All listings include fully tracked, insured, and signed-for shipping. Thanks for looking!"
