Very cool find, Peter, congrats. Although I still consider Studio 44 superior in terms of touch. The 45 is a lighter touch indeed but not as assured as the 44.
Okay, where did you find this and don't tell me it cost $10!
My God, that's an obscure film reference! Walter Matthau and Glenda Jackson, if memory serves me correctly. Circa 1979-1980? I'm too busy to Google it right now. Very nice Olivetti you got there, NA. I had a quick tap on my Lettera 32 the other day and was instantly reminded of why I like it so much. Enjoy and congrats!

I agonized over it in the Goodwill last year - at $17 it was pretty expensive at a time I wasn't flush.
Delete$17.00?
DeleteSigh.
Oh yes, I woulda liberated that one for $17 even with a Pica typeface. Very nice find! (:
ReplyDeleteHmmn, it came from a very nice home, too!
ReplyDeleteI like to leave those provenance labels on them, good spotting.
DeleteGroovy!
