1946 Smith Corona Silent Serial # 4S113267 1946 Smith Corona Silent typewriter, Serial # 4S113267 Craig Bishop's 1946 Smith Corona Silent typewriter. 2025-04-16 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Craig Bishop: 1946 Smith Corona Silent Serial # 4S113267 This was my second typewriter purchase and first that I personally refurbished (thanks to the mainspring from my first typewriter purchase)! So, it has a special place in my heart as an OG. Purchased from an antique mall in Cincinnati, OH. A previous owner seems to have liberally applied some mechanical grease to various areas that I assume were rust-prone? Wonky alignment on a few slugs, but otherwise it's a gem. The "Floating Shift" key is my all-time favorite.
