1954 Smith Corona Sterling Serial # 5A469231 1954 Smith Corona Sterling typewriter, Serial # 5A469231 Ian Brumfield's 1954 Smith Corona Sterling typewriter. 2019-10-26 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Ian Brumfield: 1954 Smith Corona Sterling Serial # 5A469231 I was sent a message from a friend, who said that there was a typewriter at an estate sale on his street. Unfortunately the estate sale was an auction, so I had to hurry to get signed up and get an auction number, etc., so that I could bid on it. Nobody else was interested in it so I got it for a great $5.

UPDATE: Through digital archaeology, I now know that I bought this typewriter on August 24th, 2013 at about 2:45 pm.
UPDATE 2: Machine sold, 09/2019.
