Description:
The budget 4 series. So no tab system, paper fingers or paper guide and a cheaper return lever compared to the Sterling. The Silent got the additional paper bail. See pic for pricing differences.
This particular model is in pretty good shape, but I think there is some corrosion in the lower segment that accounts for having a heavier key action/feel.

Typewriters are the perfect blend of using one's technical skills, history and functional purpose. My goal is type tested machines. My interests are not isolated to anyone area. For example, I am a big fan of Smith Corona electrics, mid century electrics and all things Royal.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Smith Corona Clipper on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Smith Corona Serial Number page and the Smith Corona Clipper By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
