Description:
"Caroline". Not much notable about acquisition, just got her from an Ebay listing. My first working typewriter! I know she's a super common model, but I love Smith-Corona designs and this shape chief among them. Her lowercase "a"s are slightly out of line, not sure if that's usual or not.

Dipping my toes into typewriters! I've only got a couple ('48 Smith-Corona Sterling "Caroline" & '69 Smith-Corona Classic 12 "Joel"), but I like drawing them and want to see more.
