Description
Typewriter with dark green metal casing and plastic buttons. The number 9 model is distinguished by right and left shift keys and a two-color ribbon. Olivers are "down strike" typewriters, meaning the typebars strike the roller from above. It allows the full page to be visible as the text is being entered.
The typebar is bent in a bow (forming an inverted "U" shape) and rest in "towers" on the sides of the typewriter. A three-row QWERTY keyboard with white plastic keys.
Logo printed in gold on the upper front of casing and lower front casing.
