This is an Italian Olivetti Lettera 32 manual portable typewriter. The nameplate on the back reads "Olivetti - Ivrea / made in Italy." It appears to have been manufactured in Ivrea, Turin, the location of Olivetti's headquarters (a UNESCO World Heritage industrial city). I received this from my sister, who purchased it in the 1970s, and used it for practice for a while. It has been stored at home for a long time since then. It is a vintage item from that era. It's designed without oil and is still a working precision instrument, which I find very impressive. I have blown out the dust with a blower and cleaned it as much as possible with alcohol-based disinfectants and chemicals. I have not disassembled it. I have confirmed the operation of each part and typing. To use it, the installed ink ribbon (two colors: red/black) is old and the printing is faint, so it needs to be replaced. (New Olivetti ribbons are commercially available.) [Appearance] The color is light green, full of retro charm, and there are scratches and peeling to some extent (see photos). [Accessories] Some typewriter paper was left, so I will include it. Maruzen, A4 size, extra thick, about 22 sheets remaining out of 50. It is sun-faded. The carrying case (genuine with the logo mark) is included, but it has stains and mold, and the zipper is also damaged, so I will use it for protection inside the packaging. If you do not use it, please dispose of it. Shipping is planned via Mercari delivery, but I can also accommodate Eco Mercari delivery if possible. Thank you for viewing.
