Description
Olympia typewriters are well-known for their durability and sleek German design. Once referred to as the ‘Mercedes-Benz’ of typewriters, Olympia’s products have lasted for decades, becoming the preferred make among various famous authors and scriptwriters. As you begin asking yourself which vintage typewriter is the best choice for you, take the best that Olympia has to offer into consideration and learn the story of how a German industrial business created one of the highest quality typewriters of the mid-20th century. The SM series began in 1949 and became the gold standard of Olympia typewriters. Overall, there were nine different models (SM-1 to SM-9) created. Originally, typewriters came in black, green, dark red and cream colours; but by the 1960s Olympia was offering SM models in bold colours such as orange, pink and robin’s egg blue. A medium-sized portable typewriter, the SM series was perfect for both professional and personal use and many contemporary authors swear by their SM-2s and SM-3s.
