I think the problem with the Sears Courier was that it was made in Mexico instead of Italy or Spain. This Escort was built in Spain. (Shame it was never a standard Olivetti offering) Which makes me think that the Courier could have actually been made after this even though it was based on a much older design...

Excellent find. I'm totally happy with my Escort 55. Beautiful design, down to the case, and I love the Lettera 32 mechanism.
ReplyDeleteIt's a stunner. I like the typeface too. Very cheerful typewriter.
ReplyDeleteIt's about as cheerful as they come, so light and happy and script.
DeleteCongratulations! That is a very nice typewriter and it has a wonderful typeface.
ReplyDeleteOh, I love those white keys and the swooping lines of the design. I have never seen one quite like it before.
ReplyDeleteAs far as I know, and I may be wrong, the white square flat keys were only found on Olivetti rebrandings.
DeletePretty snazzy!
ReplyDeleteI would try super glue.
I've tried that and the normal thin glue but it's far too viscous. I just remembered now that at hobby shops you can get different thicknesses of super glue…I think the thick gel ought to do the trick.
DeleteAn edible typewriter! I used little ball of Blu-Tak to fix a logo on. It isn't permanent, but might as well be.
ReplyDeleteI'm actually familiar with that stuff. I think I'll give it a try. :)
DeleteI mean, it just "looks" edible.
ReplyDeleteWell, everything is edible to some extent. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michel_Lotito
