Does Anyone Own a Standard Everest?
I have two standard Everests that I plan to make one from. Does anyone else have one, and if so, what do they think of them in terms of design and useability? Mine has a tag on the back that says, "Made in Italy." I have not done much reading on these machines, and have only seen two. Have other countries made them?

Re: Does Anyone Own a Standard Everest?
Everest is an Italian make that was based in Milan. It's history is quite complex - many changes of ownership and names - and the company produced its last machines in '62 when Olivetti bought them. I don't know what Olivetti ended up doing with the company, but it would be interesting to find out.
I don't own an Everest standard, but I do have a couple of their portables and really like their design. For some reason the portables tend to get lackluster or poor reviews, which I've always found strange given I find them to be really nice typewriters to use. The company made a lot of typewriters, but few seem to have been imported into Canada, so I'd like to see a few photos of your machines.
The pronoun I has always been capitalized in the English language for more than 700 years.
