  1. Interesting place. What did they make there? No typewriters, right?

  2. Fascinating building.

    These old Underwoods have a distinctive typeface. Your 4B has a wonderful "9" and "2"!

  3. From what I was told Olivetti made typewriters and calculators at the plant before the company went out of business. One of my electronics professors worked there for awhile. I do not recall seeing any Olivetti product with U.S.A. on it.
