Description:
For whatever reason, there is no brand stamped on this typewriter but the "floating shift" and the overall appearance clearly makes this a Smith Corona Sterling, as also the serial number. Some keys are stuck but, given its age, its remarkably clean.

I'm an archaeologist who writes heritage books and collects Japanese ceramics as well as quite a number of typewriters that I've acquired through purchase or as gifts over the last 10 years in the Philippines as well as in the US and Japan.
I'm currently a visiting professor at a university in Japan and it is heaven here to see so many typewriters being auctioned online!
