Valentine typewriter by Ettore Sottsass for Olivetti year 1969

Iconic, magnificent, timeless... There are no shortage of adjectives to describe this wonderful piece. The Valentine typewriter was designed by Ettore Sottsass and Peter King for Olivetti. Spain, 1969. Created on Valentine's Day of that same year, hence its name. Portable, with an ABS plastic case in which it fits perfectly, an integrated and folding handle is located on the top. Rubber inserts allow the assembly to be fixed. Superb condition. May however show some signs of use and time. Without knowing how these machines work, a test was done by passing a sheet of paper and hitting a few keys. It seems to work. See photos
