For many, the Olympia SM model line represents the height of mid-century typewriter design. The SM model typewriters are some of the most well-engineered, solid, durable and usable desktop typewriter models ever manufactured. It is perfect for a fast typer, or a slower one. The keyboard is standard US/UK (QWERTY), and the typeface is Olympia's Elite (11 c.p.i.). This is an elegant typeface. It comes with a new bi-colour ribbon so that you can start typing immediately.
With an ACME Typewriter, you know you are getting 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.

This typewriter, as mentioned, has a new platen and the rubber feet are solid and soft, gripping the desktop well. It is in lovely condition inside and out and will serve you well for typing anything from a short poem to a long novel.
