Description:
Picked up as a lot of 16, I carried this one special to the car with the not-an-indestructable-holiday-but-very-stylish case. A bit unsure of the year from database, but putting in 1977 as other serial numbers seem to bracket mine.

First hunt and pecked on a 60's Smith Corona Sterling my mother had and Took typing class in 1982 on an IBM Selectric as a means to get into the computer class my sophomore year. Probably reached 60wpm. Once I moved over to computers I never really went back to typewriters, but 40 years later I find myself enjoying the sound, feel, and smell of a now-vintage Selectric 2 and just picked up a 1955 Silent Super. We'll see how far down the rabbit hole I go....
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Smith Corona Super G on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Smith Corona Serial Number page and the Smith Corona Super G By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
