Olivetti Lettera 35 | Matte Black | The "Executive Stealth" Writing Engine
El Rastro Antique's Warehouses
The Collector’s Choice for a Reliable Luxury Experience
The Olivetti Lettera 35 is a trusty and reliable manual typewriter, representing the absolute peak of 1970s industrial design. While its predecessor, the Lettera 32, was about slim elegance, the 35 was engineered for stability and professional volume. Professionally cleaned and tested, this rare Matte Black machine features a high-contrast white keyboard that provides a modern, "tuxedo" aesthetic. It is a unique piece of functional art, perfect for a writer who demands a heavy-duty feel in a portable size.

Detailed Condition Note
The aesthetic is in exceptional condition, featuring a rare matte black shell that remains deep, consistent, and free of significant wear. Mechanically, it strikes with a more substantial, "firm" action than the lighter Lettera 32, making it ideal for typists with a heavier hand. Every key has been checked for precision return and perfect alignment. While it is not equipped with a case, its bold, sculptural presence makes it the ultimate permanent centerpiece for a professional's desk.

The jacket was beautiful but arms soo short for me - so it made a good gift for a friend
The typewriter arrived from Europe to the US sooner than scheduled which was a wonderful surprise. It was carefully wrapped so there was no damage at all. It was exactly as shown in photos online. All of the keys and functions work perfectly and I’ve been using it regularly with no issue. Highly recommend this business if you’re looking for a stress-free vintage purchase!
