It would seem that the antique market where you're at is considerably better than mine. Even with the aid (or hindrance) of ebay I am lucky to find anything other than Olympia SMs and Smith Coronas and insipid green key Quiet Deluxe Royals. Recently I've taken up buying just about every Olivetti I can find, but that is because my main writing machine is a Lettera 35l, backed up with Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07276107099316441693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6021475418975786274.post-72948277295884850692013-04-14T02:05:05.021+02:002013-04-14T02:05:05.021+02:00I can imagine frenzied transatlantic emails comiss...I can imagine frenzied transatlantic emails comissioning you to go right back to that Pittsburg and send it on home :-)Rob Bowkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12065940710708289511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6021475418975786274.post-40965083311459942002013-04-13T12:23:07.369+02:002013-04-13T12:23:07.369+02:00Oh, these are seriously great finds.

I think it won't sell all that quickly so if it's still in the store the next time I pass by, I'll write down the number for you :)Adwoahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00457285629002149759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6021475418975786274.post-1009992748206326892013-04-12T17:14:49.902+02:002013-04-12T17:14:49.902+02:00Adwoa, did you happen to get a serial number off o...Adwoa, did you happen to get a serial number off of that Pittsburg Visible?

Very clean and clear. <br />Oh, one more thing, I've got my late Mother's sewing machine. It's a circa 1958 Necchi SuperNova which, I am told, was considered a Ferrari among sewing machines back then.
