1941 Smith Corona Comet Serial # 1W17131 1941 Smith Corona Comet typewriter, Serial # 1W17131 Emily Tillman's 1941 Smith Corona Comet typewriter. 2024-10-19 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Emily Tillman: 1941 Smith Corona Comet Serial # 1W17131 Not entirely sure this is an S-C, but that is the closest I can get at the moment. The lack of ribbon color selector as well as no line spacing options makes me think this is a pared down version of an S-C, perhaps a "student" type model. It does have a bell, and a nice one at that! Also, the keytops are my favorite. :-) Oh, and impeccable crinkle paint!

Bitten by typewriter bug during childhood. Life-long condition. No cure. Only symptom management. Happy to be here.


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