Hispano Olivetti M40B Typewriter | Antique, Restored and Functional

The Hispano Olivetti M40B represents a robust and functional evolution of the legendary M40 model. Manufactured in the 1930s at the Hispano Olivetti plant in Barcelona, this machine preserves the essence of industrial design from that era, featuring a black metal body, round black keys, and an imposing structure.

This model is especially valued for its large roller (up to 33 cm), which allows working with documents in vertical or horizontal format — ideal for long texts or special layouts, something quite rare even among machines of the same generation.

Inspected and restored by specialists, this unit is delivered in full working order and equipped with a new ink ribbon. Although it shows minor wear typical of age and use, its overall condition is excellent.

It’s ideal both for collectors and for those seeking a decorative object with history and presence, with the confidence that it remains a fully functional typewriter.
