Typewriter Talk / Oriette (French) Version Of Olympia SM3...

**Posted by Pete E.** 29-10-2022 15:14:25

This Oriette manual typewriter is running on eBay-UK, being offered out of France.

Looks like a re-badged Olympia SM3 for French customers.

Thought the photos might be interesting to some.

I've seen Olympias with this badging before, albeit very infrequently. I think one might have even been a SG-1. It would be interesting to know more about the Oriette name; on the surface it appears to be a private label model brand, perhaps for a store or dealer

Hi Uwe,

Here is another Oriette machine called by the seller as a SG-3...but it looks to really be a SM2.
