1935 Smith Corona Standard Serial # 1C16640 1935 Smith Corona Standard typewriter, Serial # 1C16640 Greg Fudacz's 1935 Smith Corona Standard typewriter. 2018-07-19 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Greg Fudacz: 1935 Smith Corona Standard Serial # 1C16640 This version, with the animal character on its keytops, was developed with the sole purpose of teaching the touch-typing method to adolescent kids. Unfortunately it was a very pricey, top-of-the-line typewriter that was produced in the middle of the Great Depression. Paying a premium for what was ultimately a "toy" was thus hard for parents to justify.
