Delivering from: Lwówek Śląski, Poland
£250
Description
Simplex typewriter manufactured in 1938 in Germany by Olympia Büromaschinenwerke A.G. Stuttgart. A beautiful and extremely rare typewriter, this is one of the earliest Simplex models in its classic pre-war form. The item is covered with black varnish, with preserved gold signature stamps. An interesting fact is the label with the signature, the inscription: “Made in Germany”, not “West Germany”.
The machine is functional, in very good visual condition, without a suitcase, condition visible in the photos. The machines manufactured by Olimpia were characterized by an unusual design and great attention to detail. The items were hand-made in short series. The machine can be an interesting addition as a flagship technical monument from the 1930s.
