Showcase (12) : Olympia Traveller Deluxe S

Olympia is one of my favourite makes of typewriter and i have a few in my collection, the Traveller Deluxe S being added to the collection this year. The typewriter was probably made in the late 1970s.

As with my other Olympias, this machine works well and looks good - well apart from the drops. The typewriter is covered in hardened drops of a white substance, which i think may be years of tippex drips! Like all of the best typewriters, this machine has probably had a long and productive life and is still going strong. It had a new ribbon fitted a couple of months ago.
