Olympia SM2 Cursive/Italic Font 1959

e are pleased to offer this mint condition OLYMPIA SM2 typewriter, with Cursive (also called Script or Italic) typeface, manufactured in 1959. It is in absolutely pristine condition in every way and has been professionally serviced, aligned and adjusted. The platen roller has been professionally refurbished with new rubber. It has a new ribbon on the two original metal ribbon spools and comes with a hard case, in excellent condition.
This is an absolutely extraordinary typewriter with a sage-green body and forest-green keys with deep-green keys. The condition of the finish on this typewriter is the best that I have ever seen on an Olympia typewriter. You can see from the photos that the "crinkle" finish is in outstanding, new-like condition, as is the chrome and all other aspects of this typewriter. For many, the Olympia SM model series is considered to be the "gold standard" for mid-century desktop typewriters. It is one of the most well-engineered, solid, durable and usable typewriter models ever manufactured. 
I will pay return shipping costs for the buyer if you do not agree with me that this typewriter is in as-new condition and working perfectly.
This is a fully-working--as original--typewriter. The only thing that you have to do is sit down, put paper on the roller and start typing.

If you are shopping for a typewriter, please note that the Platen (the black, rubber-covered roller on which the paper is wound and which receives the strike of the metal key to imprint the letter) is one of the most important elements for the enjoyable use of your typewriter and for making a correct imprint on the paper. Over time, the rubber becomes hard. This hardness results in an unpleasant, loud clatter as you type, a harder shock to your finger bones, and a faulty imprint of the letter on the paper. In the glory days of typing, platens would be replaced every few years, just like replacing the tires on your car. The typical cost for a new platen is around 125$, not including labour costs. If you are spending hundreds of dollars on a typewriter, take the time to ask the seller about the platen. Ask the seller what is the hardness measurement of the platen. It should be between 85 and 95. Most dealers simply clean off the platen and don't mention the hardness in their description. At Acme we install new platens, at no extra cost, on any typewriter that needs one in order to ensure the best typing experience and the best, decades-long operation of your typewriter. 
Notes on the 6-month Mechanical Warranty: Should anything require repair on the typewriter the Acme Type Machine Company (an established company in the Netherlands with Chamber of Commerce registration 74166247) will repair it free of charge when shipped to our workshop. Due to the costs of shipping and the possibilities therein for damage during the shipping process we will work with you to make any required adjustments or repairs at home prior to taking the step to ship it to our workshop in Holland. Should it be preferable due to costs involved, we will also discuss the possibility of bringing it to a local professional typewriter repair service to make the necessary repairs. 
The warranty does not cover damage due to mishandling, incorrect use or dropping the typewriter, or for ordinary typewriter maintenance such as ribbon changing, platen roller renovation, character adjustment due to extensive use etc.
