Description:
The Smith Premier was the most advertised and successful double keyboard typewriter of its time. A double keyboard is required as each key has only one function, white keys for lowercase and black keys for uppercase and figures.
Model 1 is distinguished from later models by its exquisite nickel-plated embossed pattern on the frame.

I am a collector of 19th century typewriters and have built a collection that shows the remarkable ingenuity and beauty of the world's first typewriters. I have always been interested in the beginnings of a machine when there is an eruption of approaches to making it. Early typewriters are an exceptional example of this incubation period.
