I could never resist picking up an Olympia. This SM4 has been languishing in my collection for some time. It need a little TLC, the rubber dampers need changing and it could use a cleaning, you can see the previous owner was a smoker from the nicotine on the frame, but other then that it types great. I love the color, a willow green, black keys and a green space bar. I checked the serial number and it is a 1961 model.
I went and had a look at writers who used this model. From what Richard Polt reports possible Stan Laurel was a user, David Mamet also.
It's a keeper.
