Just picked this up last weekend 300 km away from me. took me 10 years to spot a green olivetti valentine: normally only produced in red...some in white...very scarce in blue (already in my collection since 3 years) and impossible to find in green. was only produced in South Africa and therefore only sold limitesd in the 70'S....saw one in a gallary 4 years ago in New York: outer case smached, front lip missing...2500 EURO at that time...

Mine I got from a Belgioum delaer who bought the mchine for 25 euro on a privat market... the old coule has picked up some old stuff from their neighbor, who was going o get rid of hid garange content....now its in my collection

not a watch story but a nice one too as this was the last and I defenitely mena the last puzzle piece in my 70's radio design collection....

may be soon on: www.60s70s80s.com
