OLIVETTI 'VALENTINE' TYPEWRITERBy Ettore Sottsass.
A C20th Design Classic in Lovely Condition Throughout.
Designed by renowned Italian designer Ettore Sottsass in the late 1960s and completed by British Industrial designer Perry King, the 'Valentine' Typewriter was made by Olivetti and produced from 1969 and until 1973.
The earliest version of the 'Valentin' were produced in Italy but are increasingly rare. Most were produced in Barcelona Spain. The case... (which doubles as a waste paper basket for you budding writers' is stamped 'Barcelona Spain'.
This one is in really lovely condition showing only slight signs of wear. It has been in storage for many years. There are some light scratches to the body of the typewriter and some minor marks to the case. The rubber fasteners are in place on the case and the typewriter is fully functioning. I will supply new ribbons for you to fit.
I am sorry to see this one go but I still need to pay for my car to get through its MOT.
Thanks For Looking. As always I answer all Questions Promptly.
