1929 Corona 4 Serial # J6P04468 1929 Corona 4 typewriter, Serial # J6P04468 Timothy Conine's 1929 Corona 4 typewriter. 2016-08-10 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Timothy Conine: 1929 Corona 4 Serial # J6P04468 This belongs to the Upper Peninsula Steam & Gas Engine Association Museum in Escanaba, MI.
It is a free museum with some 60,000 items in it's collection, only 12 of which are typewriters, but about $500 in annual maintenance budget. The operational status of the museum's typewriters is usually not good.
They weren't so much "donated" as "salvaged", but history is history, and the hope is that, as de facto curator, I can get some help in repairing the machines.

This one I haven't even tested, yet.
