The Olympia SM4 (often colloquially searched as "Olympic") is a legendary, mid-century manual portable typewriter manufactured in Wilhelmshaven, West Germany, between 1958 and 1964. Famously dubbed the "Cadillac of typewriters," it is universally praised by collectors and writers for its heavy-duty, precision German engineering, crisp typing action, and bulletproof durability.

Serial number is A1154857. Unusual to find a typewriter during the WWll era. Operates and looks great. Pictures are good to judge. The platen, paper feed, ribbon feed, new ribbon, margin sets, back space, margin release, bell, magic margin, tab, feet are all good.

The typewriter machine is in great working condition, and it looks in good shape as well.However, the bottom of it has some rustiness due to the fact that it was sitting in the case for a very long time, it has been cleaned. Ben is ready to go for the new owner. The case zippers do not work, however it will still be included to protect it from dust etc! Please review the photos carefully.And if you have any questions, please ask, thank you

This is a Royal Safari serial #6495135 which puts this as an 1966 model. See video and pics for demo and condition. Royals are known for their rugged durability and this one is no exception. She's got a few scars on her, but she is celebrating her 60th birthday this year :) And more importantly, she's got it where it counts, in the typing. The machine comes with a new ribbon and is ready to go. Free shipping is to continental US only. The item is cross posted.

Ideal for collectors, this Royal manual is a piece of history that represents a bygone era of writing culture.

I personally refurbished the typewriter. It writes smoothly and has no sticking keys. Body of typewriter is in good condition with normal signs of use. With that being said, the typewriter does have a few quirks.

Incredible and rare typewriter. It's in fair condition with some marks to the paint and case as seen in photos. Keys work smoothly. Platen will need to be refurbished as it's a bit tough.
