Professionally refurbished - cleaned, serviced, and adjusted to factory specs - The Underwood 315 was manufactured by Olivetti and is a re-brander Olivetti Lettera 31 which was designed by Ettore Sottsass around 1968. Sottsass was an important Italian 20th-century architect and designer of products. He designed mainly in the style of "anti-design", which he strongly influenced and which made him internationally known and successful. This is a beautiful example of a finely crafted machine, carefully restored and brought back to its factory luster, this typewriter will enhance any writer's desk. Olivetti typewriters are considered the Ferrari of typewriters, this machine made in Barcelona, Spain in 1971. It is off-white and teal colored, gorgeous and in perfect working condition and ready to type! Cosmetically, I'd rate it about 9 on a 10 scale. It has just been cleaned, serviced, and adjusted to factory specs. The feed rollers have been cleaned or replaced as necessary and any worn or damaged parts were repaired or replaced. The typewriter body has 100% original color from the factory and the machine has been thoroughly tested. A brand new black/red cotton ribbon is freshly installed. All this work guarantees you years of trouble-free operation. Its action is smooth and strong and it types fast and quietly. The appropriate manual is included as well as a new spare black cotton ribbon. Serial Number 6087857
