Up for sale is an "ultra-portable" Olympia SF which was manufactured in Western Germany in 1963. This typewriter is in excellent condition all around, although the ribbon color selector switch is not functional. As a result, this typewriter can only type in whichever color the top half of the ribbon is- in this case, black. Otherwise, this typewriter is completely functional right down to the bell. Despite its small, slim size, this typewriter is actually an excellent typewriter to write with, and is a lot of fun. I'd definitely prefer to use a larger-sized portable for something on the heavier side such as a novel, however this typewriter is still a trusty and smooth typer that can be used heavily and frequently. Universal ribbons fit this typewriter perfectly and are sold on this site. The owner's manual can be found here: http://site.xavier.edu/polt/typewriters/OlySF.pdf
The carrying case is also in exception condition, with the zipper completely in tact and operational all the way around. There are a few areas where the case has separated from the zipper material (see pictures) however the fact that the zipper is in tact and is fully functional is not common for any typewriter with a zipping case.
If you're looking for a cute, functional ultra-portable from a reputable and trusty brand such as Olympia, then this typewriter fits the bill.
