Olivetti Lettera 32 - In Coming...
A nice 1967 Olivetti Lettera 32 coming to our home in a week or less.
This one is made in Italy.
More photos when it comes off my work-bench.

Re: Olivetti Lettera 32 - In Coming...
This one was not a bargain...
So I am also good at paying too much. 
But I balance such out with 2-3 previous buys for $ 5 to $ 30.

Re: Olivetti Lettera 32 - In Coming...
Is this one of those fabled cases with a non-broken zipper? I dont think Ive ever seen one intact.
These are great machines, although the frames & return levers can be quite brittle. Ive had one in lime green back in the day but sold it some years ago. If I ever get another one it will be in this classic teal colour.

Hi Gerd,
Yes...I am afraid so. Zipper is intact.

Re: Olivetti Lettera 32 - In Coming...
Today was one of our first days this Spring where the temps got into the 70* F. so a good day to work in the driveway/garage to clean, service, oil, and ribbon the new Lettera 32.
I like this machine so much I decided to add an early Lettera made in 1950 to my collection. Should be home early next week.
It has the early round key-tops and its in a lovely mint-green colour.
Here is my Lettera 32 after its typewriter spa-day in the sunshine.
