Customer Reviews
This Olivetti Lettera 32 is exactly what I wanted. It types beautifully! Key action is light and smooth. I was uneasy buying a typewriter online without trying it out first which is why I decided to buy from one of the most reputable companies. I paid more to get a machine in absolutely excellent working condition. I am still getting used to the slightly different keyboard- the “z” is where the “w” used to be (since this is Italian configuration) and the “m” key is not where I am accustomed to, but the more I use it the easier it is. This is a small typewriter and easily fits on the wool pad Amsterdam Typewriters offers. The shipping to US was much faster than I expected. It was packed thoroughly and with great care. I was charged about $23 for customs charges. UPS made it simple to pay this online while it was en route.
Sehr gute Qualität. Die Größe ist genau richtig. Würde ich auf jeden Fall weiter empfehlen
Very unique and very well crafted. The older typewriters as well as new sit so nicely on them! I purchased several to place under them to display. VERY well worth it!
Many thanks for this smooth transaction & fast delivery !
I have a Hermes 3000, and although the machine came with metal spools, they never quite fit, were always just little wobbly due to a poor fit with the shorter, ancillary spindles or posts situated next to the main spool posts. Because of the less-than-perfect fit, the ribbon unspooled loosely. The machine typed fine, but this lack of aesthetic perfection annoyed me---and I wanted a perfect, vintage machine.
The "open, spoke-style" metal spools I bought from Amsterdam Typewriter were made specifically for the Hermes 3000, and fit perfectly. The ribbon unspools smoothly and with just the right amount of tension . . . and the machine, with its "hood" off, looks like the fine-tuned, high-precision word engine it is. Service was excellent; shipping was prompt; and this customer is delighted with his purchase.
Die Schutzhülle für meine Schreibmaschine passt sehr genau. Auch sehr gute Qualität. Würde ich wieder kaufen. Kann ich nur empfehlen. Vielen Dank
Been looking for something like this for a while and it came exactly as expected. Really awesome product, will definitely order more in the future. Thank you!
Layers of wool felt glued together with adhesive. It's an excellent product for the price. However, the adhesive makes the sides a bit sticky to the touch and the pad is a maybe a bit too stiff to absorb the platen impulses.
I bought a set of original metal spools with a black/red ribbon for my 1961 Hermes Baby. The seller helped me confirm compatibility with my specific machine, answered my questions quickly, and even advised me on the best ribbon type for this model.
The order arrived safely and was beautifully packed, including a very nice metal storage tin for the spools and ribbon. The spools fit perfectly and the ribbon works exactly as it should.
Very knowledgeable seller and a great place for anyone actually using vintage typewriters, not just collecting them. Highly recommended.
They gave me extra ink ribbons for my Gabriele 25 Adler typemachine. Great service. Highly recommend them.
Fast delivery and was exactly like expected. Will order again!
Moulage de qualité , la forme manque un peu de rondeur. Le seul reproche à faire c est que l espace pour l axe etait un peu trop large , j ai dû mettre de la colle. J aurais preféré devoir adapter en poncant légèremét l interrieur que de mettre de la colle
The Hermes Baby replacement feet are perfect! Thanks!

Arrived quickly, well packaged and it is exactly as requested! Thanks!!!
Because I had a great experience ordering a typewriter tool from Amsterdam Typewriter in the recent past, I treated myself and ordered two more tools that I found on their website. They arrived quickly in the U.S. The tools are sturdy and functional and in great working condition. Amsterdam Typewriter is a great resource for specialized typewriter tools!
Very grateful for the assistance provided by Amsterdam typewriter company in helping us source replacement parts for our typewriter. They arrived within a few days and everything worked perfectly.
Very well made and this store is a pleasure to work with. I’ll definitely be shopping here again.
