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 Thomas Oliver's revolutionary design, is renowned worldwide for its unique "batwing" construction with the characteristic upright 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 era.

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