Olivetti Studeo 44 Typewriter

This typewriter is similar to the typewriters we used while stationed in Vietnam in1969 so has some nostalgic value for me. Was glad to have found it. Is in perfect condition but ribbon seems to be old and dried out so will be ordering a replacement not for it soon. Very pleased with my purchase.

Just as described, thank you!

Slim. Racy. Shiny chrome fenders. If we're going back to the Fifties, I plan to fake it 'til we make it: typing recipe cards and indexes, letters and notes-to-self. Thank you for your service with a smile.

I would like to highly recommend this vendor, the product arrived as described and on time. I needed it to arrive by a certain time for a birthday gift and they were accommodating and responsive. The typewriter arrived on time and beautifully wrapped, even with a little typed “Happy Birthday” note. I'm very pleased with the purchase and would without question buy from them again - thank you so so very much!!!

My Olivetti typewriter was delayed in shipping (through no fault of the seller) but when it arrived it was expertly packaged for shipping and arrived in excellent condition. When I contacted the seller about the delay in its arrival, the customer service immediately contacted the shipper and they were able to give me an updated estimate on the arrival date.
The typewriter is beautiful and fun to use.

Exactly what we needed. Thanks!

This is an absolutely stunning typewriter!...

This is an absolutely stunning typewriter! It is in excellent condition, and the sellers included a Tolkien quote and a cute typewriter pin! It comes with an instruction manual, which was helpful as this is my first typewriter.

The shipping to the USA took approximately 1.5 months longer than predicted. I don't blame the sellers for this, as they posted the typewriter in the post VERY quickly. The wait was worth it. Fortunately this typewriter just for personal use - if purchased as a gift, buy VERY early.

The only bummer was the installed typewriter ribbon being almost completely dried out - I purchased a new typewriter ribbon today but am sad that I can't use my typewriter until it arrives.

The sellers are AMAZING. They have been very helpful and kind. This is the only shop I'd consider for purchasing a typewriter.

The whole experience was so outstanding that I don't know where to start. My typewriter is incredible, in extraordinary good shape, packaged with lots of care. I had the typewriter delivered to the hotel where I was staying in Madrid and the whole shipping process was very smooth and the communication with the store super efficient and friendly. I will buy from them again!
