George,
I found this SKE on the TWDB. Earlier SN than your machine.
All-white and European power requirements.

Re: Olympia SGE 45...In-Coming
Thanks Pete, I’m not sure what the ‘hunter’ meant by “if i see it right, there is no 'Report electric' or 'SKE D 51’” since it’s stamped into the plate. Maybe just that it wasn’t specifically a listing on the database. Considering how many of Olympias were produced post WWII it seems like there would be lots of historical information. Instead it sometimes appears to be more of an exercise in cryptography or archeology. Perhaps that’s part of the fun of typewriters? George

Re: Olympia SGE 45...In-Coming
And I like that "pistachio" color so much, I painted our last house in the same color.
Our new house is only 4 years old, but I will do the same with it in a few more years.
