  1. I immediately thought the suitcase is such a creative idea and then I saw the "Olympia" label... bravo!

  3. That's amazing! You've bought a case with the same brand name that your typewriter. That's just genious :)

  4. But let's just say a gorilla (for instance) gets hold of that suitcase. Will you be certain that your beautiful machine is safe?

    1. It's not as secure as the original Olympia cases, certainly. But then, I don't plan on letting the case out of my hands. I think if I had to trust it to some airline baggage conveyor belt or the like, I would swaddle the machine in foam or bubble wrap.

  5. Sweet! You could do a lot worse, like the cases for the Olivetti's of the 60s and 70s.

  7. Kudos for being the first person this century to buy luggage specifically to ferry a typewriter.

  8. As much as I think the bag and the choice of name is cool.... How beautiful is that typewriter! Brilliant!

  9. Not sure which one I like the most... but on balance it has to be the red Olympia, just by a nose though.
