The Collector’s Choice for a Reliable Luxury Experience
The Hispano Olivetti Studio 46 is a trusty and reliable manual typewriter, representing the absolute pinnacle of Spanish-Italian industrial collaboration. Known as a "semi-standard," it offers the stability and power of a large office machine in a frame that is built like a tank. Professionally cleaned and tested, this specific unit is unique due to its naturally darkened keys. Over decades of use, the keys have transformed into a striking black/charcoal tone while remaining perfectly legible—offering a "noir" look that perfectly complements the textured sage green finish.

Detailed Condition Note
The aesthetic is in great condition, featuring the iconic "wrinkle finish" sage green paint that remains remarkably intact. The keys have faded over time to a deep, dark shade; however, the white lettering remains visible, providing a high-contrast "Stealth" look. Mechanically, it strikes with the heavy-duty, authoritative power of a professional newsroom machine. Every mechanical component has been checked for fluid movement and perfect alignment. While it is not equipped with a case, its sheer weight and rubber-footed base make it the ultimate permanent desk companion for a dedicated writer.

Excellent service. The typewriter was as described, and was sent carefully packaged to avoid damages.
Works perfectly! Arrived safely and well packaged.
Some universal ribbon spools may slip if they don't lock into the slot on the machine. I held mine in place with a Doonail sticker and everything is working perfectly.
Great shipping arrived as described.
This typewriter arrived earlier than expected, well wrapped and padded to ensure no damage, and exactly as shown in the photos and description. All of the keys and functions are working properly and smoothly. It came with two ribbons that are working perfectly. The case closes securely over the typewriter and the color is vibrant with very little wear and tear marks. The seller was very communicative along the way and delivered on everything promised. I’d highly recommend them to others!
A wonderful typewriter! I had a minor issue with the drawstring but I was able to resolve it very quickly with Evgeny’s help. Works like a charm. Thank you!
Evgeny was very attentive, the typewriter is in very good condition, at a reasonable price and he packed it very well for shipping. 10/10
