The Olivetti Lettera 22 was designed in Italy in 1950 by Marcello Nizzoli and proved to be extremely popular throughout the 1950's winning numerous design awards. It was very portable for the time as it measures 30 cms x 30 cms x 8 cms high. This one is in a fabulous and original salmon pink enamel colour making it rare and highly sought after. It has charcoal coloured keys, space bar and carriage knobs and was made in the Olivetti Glasgow factory in Scotland. This one has the standard "elite" sized type face giving you 12 letters to the inch.
It works and types well and is in a very good condition with just some minor marks.
