The Holy Grail for Design Collectors: A Complete Olivetti Valentine Set Designed by legendary Italian architect Ettore Sottsass and Perry King in 1969, the Valentine is celebrated globally as a masterpiece of Pop Art industrial design and sits in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA). What makes this specific piece extraordinarily rare is that it remains a 100% complete archival set. While the typewriter itself is an icon, most other units have lost their ephemeral components over the past 50 years. The piece does work to the best of our knowledge but remains 100% original and unaltered. If you plan on using this piece regularly, we recommend it be serviced. What’s Included in Your Complete Set: -The Red Olivetti Valentine Typewriter -Original Matching Red Hard Shell Bucket Case with its original rubber closure straps -Original Olivetti Cleaning Brushes and green stencil that all fit inside their own case -Original Graphic Hangtag with original paper sleeve -Vintage Extra Ink Ribbon still sealed in its original protective factory wrapping -Original Olivetti-Branded Silica Gel Pack, probably the most uncommon of accessories Made in Spain, 1969. In very good vintage condition, some light scratches are to be expected, no cracks or anything worth noting.
