Description:
1935 Smith Corona Standard
FB Marketplace $100
Partial Working Condition. The main housing plate for this typewriter originally came from a different SCM Flat Top of mine (a 1938 Sterling). Mechanically, this typewriter is fragile and doesn't hit evenly on the page, though the parts are all functional.

Though I have had a love for typewriters since I was a kid (in the 90's) I didn't start collecting in earnest until 2020 (having had 3 typewriters still in my posession and several long gone). Since then, I have become an avid collector, focusing primarily on fully functional manual typewriters. After collecting more than 30, I determined that my favorite Brand overall is Smith Corona and I attempt to hone my collection in that direction. Here's the preservation of one of the best storytellers we've ever known!!
