AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Olivetti portable suitcase-type typewriter, functioning but with the '=' key lever missing. It surely needs a cleaning and lubrication, but it is fully operative. The acronym "ICO" stands for Ingegnere Camillo Olivetti, founder of the company. Production period: It was launched in 1932 and remained in production until 1950, when it was replaced by the Olivetti Lettera 22. Design and mechanics: Mechanically designed by Riccardo Levi and Gino Levi Martinoli, with aesthetic input from Aldo and Adriano Magnelli. It features a 43-key QWERTY keyboard, typical of the Italian layout of that era. At the moment I do not ship to the United States.
