Often referred to as the Mercedes Benz of typewriters, the Olympia typewriter has historically been proven to be a popular choice with authors, Hollywood filmmakers, and now, with many working models still available, antique collectors and vintage typewriter enthusiasts.
Despite the fact that the typewriter industry was seen to be dominated by the American giants such as Remington and Smith-Corona, this West German brand had long been famous for its portability, comfort, reliability and colourful designs.
