Description:
If you want to type like it's the Old Wet, use this machine. Fitted with comically large 9 CPI font you could be legally blind and still be able to read it. This L.C. Smith #5 has seen better days and is extremely worn out, to the point where the space-bar only works on one side. The chrome however, somehow survived and the fact that it has been repainted hasn't ruined how it shows.
Serves as an anti-thesis to the classic Underwood, but it feels more old-fashioned besides being a segment shift machine.

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.
