Partial Working Condition. After a while of cleaning and fiddling with a faulty ribbon vibrator, the typewriter works but only barely. It needs a deep and internal clean and to find the right ribbon. It also doesn't have a case (research shows it should come with a hard cover top).

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!!

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