The typewriter has the number '1' key which doesn't seem to be on any of the others I have seen online. Does anyone know if they came out with the '1' key.. or perhaps it was added at a later date.. but it looks authentic... so not sure?

If I remember right it's made in Glasgow which I somewhat minded bc I had read that the scots made an inferior product.

I, too, had never seen a 22 in this color. I imagine Ton's cheeks are near this same color with envy over such a beautiful Olivetti! I love finding paperwork with a typewriter.
