During a saunter round Leiden, spotted a grey Olympia SM typewriter in the shop window of a second-hand store.
Rather an up-market thrift store - such a thing exists, surprisingly. It seemed to sit somewhere on the scale between junk-store/thrift and an antique-shop. Located in the city on the Breestraat (i.e. Broadway) with a mid-century modern flair in its display.
The photograph of Mr Rühmann probably also dates from the 1950s. It was after closing time, so no safari of the insides of an up-market thrift store - just the window display :)
