1907 Smith Premier 2 Serial # 124998 1907 Smith Premier 2 typewriter, Serial # 124998 Mark Schrad's 1907 Smith Premier 2 typewriter. 2023-09-24 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Mark Schrad: 1907 Smith Premier 2 Serial # 124998 Another gem from Bob Aubert's collection of Delran, NJ (August, 2023). This one was in pretty decent shape to begin with, but still took about 8-9 hours of cleaning work to get it into its present state. Very interesting to have the tri-chrome ribbon attachment, with an original tri-chrome ribbon on it! So I did my best to re-ink the ribbon, which is usable, though the red band doesn't seem to show red now, but rather just black.
