This typewriter has full Estonian layout with translated keys. So far I have only seen three of these:
this Olympia Simplex, Royal De Luxe which still needs some repair work before I can post it here and Corona Standard from Tallinn Type-In.
.
All of them are made in 1920-1930. More common practice was just to add Õ letter to typewriters with German layout – Royal 10 and Royal Portable.

After Soviet occupation the only way to get new typewriters with Estonian layout was to make keys yourself at home, like on this Optima Elite 3
.

Happy New Year!
