Description:
This is a really late, late folding Corona 3, made in 1938 with the storm-clouds of war gathering over Europe. It has the double shifts on either side, and the backspace key had fallen off when I found it--in Seaside Park, New Jersey--in March of 2019. (March is NOT Jersey Shore season. It was quite raw.) However, the area seems to have rebuilt nicely following the devastation of Superstorm Sandy.

RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Corona 3 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Corona Serial Number page and the Corona 3 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
