Description:
Spotted, non-working, at an antique store that I frequent. Not in bad shape overall, but not worth the $125 asking price. I thought it would be a good source for parts for my 1912 LC Smith 5, but I would have to get it for a lot less.
I took a picture of the Serial number but I cannot find it now, I remember the first three digits, which should put it in the 1913 range.

I started collecting typewriters several years ago and it started with a late 1960s Smith-Corona Sterling portable that I got as a gift.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the L.C. Smith 5 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the L.C. Smith Serial Number page and the L.C. Smith 5 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
