Description from the seller

a beautiful Oliver Typewriter No. 10, one of the most recognizable and beloved typewriters from the early 20th century. This model, based on the revolutionary design of Thomas Oliver, is world-renowned for its unique "batwing" construction with the characteristic raised type arms.

The Oliver No. 10 was produced in the 1910s and represents an important chapter in the history of the typewriter. The distinctive design was not only aesthetically striking, but also offered excellent visibility of the typed result at the time, an innovative feature for that period.

This machine is a beautiful example of early industrial craftsmanship, with an impressive combination of cast iron, nickel-plated details and refined mechanical technique. The decorative styling makes it a real eye-catcher in any interior, office, museum or collection.
