FOR SALE | Mid Century Modern Olivetti Lettera 22 Typewriter {Hello, Mr. Charm!}

One of my favorite wedding details is when couples include a vintage typewriter in their day. Besides being tres chic, typewriters can be super handy during the wedding while also adding a heaping dose of style and charm to your photos. My favefavefave is when couples type out love notes to each other on vintage typewriters - it's just the best, isn't it? And, of course, it's darling when typewriters are used as guestbooks - I think we all love that, right?

Today I'm sharing one of my favorites that I scooped up while brocanting my way through France while living in Germany. It's a vintage Olivetti and I think it would be a darling statement piece at a spring wedding:

About the typewriter:
This is a gorgeous Olivetti Lettera 22 Manual Portable Typewriter dating back to around the 1950s. The painted metal casing is a delightful shade of blue. The typewriter comes with its original hard carrying cover/case and has a cute handle that makes transporting a cinch. Also included are the original cleaning tools.

This deliciously retro typewriter is in excellent vintage condition and has no chips or cracks. The only visible wear is found on the inside of the carrying case - there are a few stains and discolorations on the inside of the carrying case but overall, it is in superb condition. All keys are working and the return bell lets out the most delightful ring. The typewriter measures approximately 10.5" wide x 12" deep x 3" high.

Note: Because this is a European typewriter, the keys are in a different layout than American typewriters. However, all keys are fully functioning. Also, the typewriter ribbon has dried out a little bit so it will probably need to be replaced with a fresh universal ribbon to produce crisp letters. The current ribbon is still working but the ink is slowly fading.

Price: $248.00 + shipping
