Typewriter, 1957 Olivetti Lettera 22 - No Carry Case

The Olivetti Lettera 22 was designed in Italy in 1950 by Marcello Nizzoli and proved to be extremely popular throughout the 1950's winning numerous design awards. It was very portable for the time as it measures 30cm x 30cm x 8cm high and has the usual all metal casing and is in a pale blue/green enamel colour with a slightly different coloured paper plate and round black coloured keys and red tab key. This model was made in 1957 in Glasgow rather than in Spain, Italy or Mexico and has the Olivetti branding on the right side of the carriage and the Lettera 22 logo on top of the ribbon cover and has the standard elite sized type face with 11 letters or characters to the inch. It types very well with a light touch and is in a good overall condition with just a few small marks and signs of wear on the edges of the ribbon cover and at the back right hand corner. This typewriter has been professionally serviced, cleaned, adjusted and tested. It is in full working order and fitted with a new top quality American made ribbon so its all ready for you to start typing on.
