Description from the seller

Olympia Splendid series typewriter, model 33, in excellent condition with original case, black. The frame of the case and the mechanics are in excellent condition; all functions work correctly, monochrome ribbon (recommend replacing the ribbon), with the reverse command on the left front, roller release button on the upper left. Metal badge on the typewriter: Olympia Werke AG Wilhelmshaven, produced in West Germany. Intercontinental Trading Corp, 90 West St, New York 6, NY. Serial number: 95-276111. The Olympia Splendid series was born in the late 1950s as an evolution of the Schreibmaschine Flach line, Olympia SF. They are typewriters of extreme quality both in materials and finishes, produced in various versions. This is a very compact portable typewriter: 75 mm in height and 4.2 kg in weight, which we can compare, for example, to 80 mm and 3.8 kg of an Olivetti Lettera 22. The shipment will be traceable, insured, and the package customized at no additional cost, except for countries and islands that are difficult to reach, and in that case the price will be agreed with the buyer.
