Memorabilia

In addition to Oliver typewriters, I also collect Oliver-related ephemeral items and accessories which are exhibited below. Generally, the item must be branded as Oliver or a related name variant to be part of this collection. For example, typewriter desks manufactured by the Dearborn Company of Chicago were sold by The Oliver Typewriter Company, but not branded with the Oliver name. Thus, these are not contenders for the collection.

Have any Oliver memorabilia for sale? Please reach me at contact@olivertypewriters.com.
