Description:
I traded an Edison Mimeograph (No. 76) for this typewriter, as I'd been looking for one in this color for a while and had yet to come across a good condition one. While not in perfect condition (see the wear on the ribbon cover and the missing platen knob on the left side), I love it and the way it types.
The serial number, R5L10938, dates the machine to September/October of 1927, and makes it the 10,938th one produced in that time frame. The R in the serial number identifies it as a Light Maroon DUCO Finish.

RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Corona 4 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Corona Serial Number page and the Corona 4 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
