The Classic Olivetti Manual Typewriter

This is the Olivetti typewriter from the Italian company renowned for creating functional, distinctive office equipment for 100 years. Not a reconditioned model, it is one of the few manuals still being manufactured today, with a compact profile reminiscent of Olivetti's iconic Lettera 22 typewriter that was favored by journalists and students in the 1950s. The typewriter offers essential functions that are easy for even the most grizzled sportswriter to operate, including margin stops, eight tab stops, adjustable line spacing, space bar repeater, and an 8 1/2" typing-width carriage. The keyboard has 49 keys that make 86 symbols in 10-characters-per-inch Pica 87 font. The typewriter has a lightweight plastic housing and it comes with a hard plastic carrying case for protection while enroute to a backwoods retreat or the backyard patio. Black/red ribbon. 5 1/2"H x 14 1/4" W x 14 1/4" D. (12 lbs.)
