Extraordinary Oliver 5 typewriter + extras. 1910

In perfect aesthetic and working condition. Includes its dust box and an original Oliver house cleaning kit. There is even a bottle of typewriter oil. I have little to say about the machine. It is magnificent. It runs perfectly and smoothly. The enamel is in fantastic condition and the chrome plating is beautiful. There is some dirt that can be easily removed, but it does not affect the performance of the machine at all. The highlight of the aesthetics of this make and model are its U-shaped typefaces that hit the paper from both sides and give it its characteristic look. The ribbon needs to be replaced, as it is the original ribbon and is dry and brittle. Otherwise, it is perfect.Oliver machines are some of the best typewriters in history. With their inverted U-shaped typefaces, striking from both sides, and thanks precisely to this aspect, the typist's view is focused right on the centimeters of text he is typing. The first Oliver appeared in 1896-97 and was invented by the Canadian Thomas Oliver and was one of the last alternatives in the design of typewriters that hit the paper from top to bottom, as opposed to systems such as the Underwood machines, which hit the paper starting from a position below the paper. Oliver machines ceased production in 1928.I would be happy to answer any questions.
