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. This one has the usual all metal casing and is in a lovely and rare light pistachio green colour, dark grey keys with a red tab key. It was made in 1954 in Olivetti's factory in Italy and has the Olivetti branding on the right side of the carriage and the Lettera 22 badge on the top of the ribbon cover. This one has the slightly larger "pica" sized type face giving you 10 letters to the inch.
It types very well with a light touch. We have given it a professional clean, service, adjusted and tested it and fitted a new top quality American made ribbon so its all ready for you to start typing on.
We can supply Universal typewriter ribbons when required from £6.95 each including postage. Available in plain black, red/black and in a range of coloured options. These can be dropped in or you can rewind the new ribbon onto the metal spools in the machine.
There are a few minor marks to the paintwork mainly on the ribbon cover , at the end of the carriage and at the right front corner. It comes with it's a carry case which has a sound handle and two zips to close. The case does have some marks, scratches and some discolouration in places but is generally in a very good condition.
We also include a photo copy of a Lettera 22 instruction manual.
This is a good working Lettera 22 in a rare and very sought after colour.
Delivery anywhere within the UK is included in the price.
