Oliver Typewriter no. 11
Main Collection: Historic Business Machines
Sub Collection: Historic Typewriters

Description: The Oliver Typewriter Company of Chicago produced the first "visible print" typewriter on which text was visible as it was entered by the typist in the mid 1890s. Oliver typewriters were painted green up until model no. 11 was introduced in 1922. All Oliver typewriters featured the double banks of typebars, standing erect above the 3 rows of keys. The typewriter's appearance lead to it being nicknamed the "Iron Butterfly." The Oliver brand of typewriters was the first to be successfully marketed for home use. Despite this success the company experienced financial troubles in the 1920s. The Oliver typewriter models no. 11/12 were the last to be manufactured in the United States. Their production ended in 1928 when the American-based company was liquidated and its assets purchased by the British Oliver Typewriter Company.
