I have an Oliver albeit an old one that needs to be restored. It sits in the garage waiting for the same kind of care that you have showed this little olive machine.

That one is particularly nice, and, to me, has undertones of an SM3. Quite a lovely little typer. <br />I am glad to hear you did, in the end, get to purchase it. I had my first 'second chance offer' the other day, and I jumped right on it. Meeting up tomorrow night to grab it, and I will be sure to post something on it.<br />Congrats on the great find.

I think I'm going to take a fierce pleasure in bringing that one back from the dead. Heck, my first typer is an ongoing rustbucket of a project!<br /><br />I'm so happy you seem to be finding your stride now! And what a pretty little machine; I'm not very familiar with Oliver portables yet, as I found the big-eared galoots that are their predecessors first, but Olivers big and small, I love them all! I can only imagine what condition that poor little fella was in. It's wonderful you've brought it back to such nice working condition.

Sounds like things are going great! I am so glad to hear it.<br /><br />That Oliver is stunning. It is too bad you didn't take a before picture.
