I bought this Olympia SM7 at a local auction for £15


It came with two new black/red ribbons dating from 1968 & 1969. They were made by Kores for the British Civil Service and have the Stationery Office logo & stock no. on them. Knicked from the office? Plus a type cleaning brush by Imperial & a "Colonel" typewriter eraser.

The SM7 is in good condition although the keys near the edges of the segment are a bit stiff. The shift does seem rather heavy. One odd thing is that the carriage lock doesn't move to lock the carriage butif moved manually will unlock. Not sure if there's a bit missing
