Up for sale is a nice Olympia SM3 which was made in Germany in 1959. This typewriter may not be perfect cosmetically, however it's a superior typer and is fully functional right down to the bell. Olympia typewriters are known for their high quality and dependability, and this typewriter is no exception to that standard. This SM3 writes very smoothly and reliably, and is a joy to type with. Cosmetically, the unique mint green (or maybe light/turquoise blue?) crinkle paint finish is in decent shape, however it's not perfect. It has a few scratches and stains/other miscellaneous flaws despite being cleaned thoroughly. The carrying case is in great shape, and really displays the space-age era that this typewriter lived through. The outside of the case is in great shape, however the inside could be cleaned a bit more if you're a perfectionist.
This typewriter has a ton of features, but is still easy to use and maintain. The user manual can be downloaded for free here: http://site.xavier.edu/polt/typewriters/OlympiaSM3.pdf
Universal ribbons which are sold on this site fit this machine perfectly, so there aren't any worries about keeping this workhorse typing.
If you're looking for a high-end novel writer to write heavily and frequently with, then this is an excellent option!
