The Splendid 99 is one of the great super-portable typewriters. Weighing only around 10 lbs, it has been positively compared to the Hermes Rocket and Baby and some typewriter enthusiasts prefer the Splendid 99 due to the longer carriage-return lever and the more solid "action". Because this is an Olympia, it was manufactured with precision and care and is a superb writing machine. The Splendid 99 model is the DeLuxe version of this portable model which includes the Splendid 33 and the Splendid 66.
Mechanically, this typewriter is in wonderful condition.

All necessary adjustments and alignments have been undertaken to restore this typewriter to its original precision and functionality. The feeder rollers are in fine condition. All are clean, smooth and gripping well the paper. The chrome is is fine condition and the body finish has minimal signs of use.
