Unusual Estate Find! Collector's Dream! Mint Condition Olivetti Valentine Typewriter. Ready to go, right out of the case. My research on this item indicates it is from the 1960's. Produced in Barcelona, Spain at the Olivetti Factory. The style is "COOL" (to coin a phrase from the 60's).

This outstanding collectible can be found in lesser condition for a much greater price, both on ebay and onthe internet, so the lucky buyer of this unit will win B IG! **This item was listed and then removed by Ebay because I had the phrase"like new" in the title. I apologize to all of you that had been watching this item anxiously awaiting its ending time. I'll be typing something and posting a picture of the "typeset" as soon as possible. This item has been checked over by an experienced office machine repair man who's first comment to me after I asked him to provide a complete check-up and cleaning for this item was..."This item does not need to be cleaned, t is no evidence of real use".
