No 21: Typewriter of the Day - The Olympia SM7

No 21: TOTD - The Olympia SM7

Like a snappy typewriter try this model.  The SM7 didn't get a lot of credit in my collection until today.  I liked the SM9.  The SM7 has a higher ranking now, I love the touch and I don't mind the carriage shift.  I find that it feels better then I thought and has a beautiful font.  A little dirty, it still exudes romance.  I was looking to see who used an SM7 and the only writer I could find was the American novelist James Baldwin.  If you don't know his work go to the Paris Review link for an interview with him.  Here is a picture of the machine and a couple of pictures that I found on Richard Polt's site http://site.xavier.edu.  enjoy.





Here is James Baldwin working on his SM7



Have a great day - it's snowing here, again.
