Original Typewriter "Olympia Color Tip", 1958, top top condition, office machine

This very well maintained typewriter from OLYMPIA, WILHELMSHAVEN, Germany, dates from 1958 and was designed as a so-called "learning typewriter".
With this typewriter you could learn how to use the keyboard with the "10-finger system". The keys had been covered with coloured foils and the corresponding instructions were available in an enclosed folder.
In it the individual learning steps were described to the pupils.

All this has been preserved and is enclosed with the typewriter

It was completely restored by me and is now in a very good optical and technical condition. It works perfectly, as the photo of the writing sample shows.

It is delivered in the original hard-shell case - safely packed.

This is a technical antique in an almost perfect state of preservation--a collectable item that I would like to give away from my own collection. Please note: This typewriter and also the case are not new, they have of course traces of use of the last decades. I will gladly send you more photos to describe the condition even better.
