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 round black coloured keys. This model was made in 1954 in Italy rather than in Spain, Scotland 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 with the original selling agents logo as well. It has the standard elite sized type face giving you 11 letters to the inch.
It types very well with a light touch and is in a very good overall condition with just a few marks in places.
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.
