Description:
Model 1A
Serial #2028811
Made in Canada
14 in. carriage
With a head on it like a Beluga whale, the Super-Speed isn't much to look at, but it's a natural performer. I particularly like the spring-loaded trap door covering its back end that allows for quick access to the escapement and drawband drum.

RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Smith Corona Super Speed 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 Speed By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
