1940 L.C. Smith Super Speed Serial # 1A1604958-11 1940 L.C. Smith Super Speed typewriter, Serial # 1A1604958-11 Ian Brumfield's 1940 L.C. Smith Super Speed typewriter. 2023-06-22 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Ian Brumfield: 1940 L.C. Smith Super Speed Serial # 1A1604958-11 Bought this at the 2014 Antique Typewriter Collector's Meeting. This one has a problem with the bell that causes the bell to ring constantly - I think that the clapper is bent. We call this machine 'dinghy' because it rings all the time and would make a good boat anchor.
