Ultra rare Ettore Sottsass collectable, world known typewriter the Valentine. The Valentine typewriter was launched on 14 February 1969, explains the name ‘Valentine’. It was designed by the late Italian architect and designer, Ettore Sottsass, with the British designer, Perry Ellis, for the Italian firm, Olivetti. This valentine was mostly sold in red but what we offer here is a museum piece, a rare blue edition of the valentine. I guess 1 out of 5000 Valentines you see is blue, so guess how rare this is. The valentine is in perfect working order and in very good condition. Marked Olivetti, Barcelona Spain, Olvetti plant.
