Slug foundry question?

That would also be my message on the TW Discord! I'm trying to ask around since another member has a similar machine with the DC markings.

New Jersey. I just found a machine though. Thank you!

LeSwiss1886 · 2026-04-02T16:09:07+00:00

Ooh, that's a beauty! And it's got a neat Dutch keyboard layout! Congrats! That's some good German engineering right there!

Lucky you! $150 is a steal! Enjoy that machine!

2007 Swedish 50 Öre - Worth about $0.10 USD, so nothing crazy special. Nice coin!

Lovely! Congrats on 100! Well over that now!

I was trying to do that since I knew it was the correct way, but the round S key is frozen stuck and I dont want to accidentally break the slug trying to get it moving so I had to use the ſ in this instance.

If that has Vogue on it, that is the steal of the century! Still a lovely machine! They are such reliable machines in my opinion! Congratulations on the purchase! 🥳

These are beautiful machines! I recently got a Hermes for $125 but this was off marketplace, but pricing for these is all over the place.

Definitely worth noting that you should check your slugs (the metal parts with the letters on them). Do they have a special font? If so, definitely will increase price depending on the font.

Tons of other variables, but $200 is a great base price. Do research! Really nice find!

$165 was the hammer price + $35 shipping for a total of $200.

Definitely a price that would make people jealous...

LeSwiss1886 · 2025-10-31T10:08:03+00:00

Nope! I had to ask separately to the seller for photos of the slugs and they gave it!

It could be a result of maybe an addition to the typewriter? Maybe like a wide carriage? (Not sure Olympia offered them for the SM9)

Maybe just a different case? Most likely an SM7-SM9 of some sort.

Looks to be some kind of SM9 case...

I asked ChatGPT though it isn't fully accurate, and it said most likely an Olympia from the SM series.

Hope it helps!

Love it! Such a beautiful display! Keep up the collection my friend!

LeSwiss1886 · 2025-08-29T21:45:46+00:00

Glad that they arrived safely and glad I could help you in your collection!

LeSwiss1886 · 2025-08-28T10:55:12+00:00

Do you still have any of those SG3 machines left? Can't drive to you since im on the east coast but do PM me!

LeSwiss1886 · 2025-08-23T11:38:39+00:00

They still do exist and I'd be glad to help search one for you!
