1949 Smith Corona Silent Secretarial Serial # 2B2238083-14 1949 Smith Corona Silent Secretarial typewriter, Serial # 2B2238083-14 Mike Parker's 1949 Smith Corona Silent Secretarial typewriter. 2026-02-27 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Mike Parker: 1949 Smith Corona Silent Secretarial Serial # 2B2238083-14 Picked ip this beauty from a salvage store. I believe she's a 1949 Smith Corona Silent Secretarial. She's pretty beat up. Tab send the carriage in the wrong direction, so it's backward, instead of forward. Space bar doesn't work. Other keys work, but a few are sticky. Needs a new ribbon. I'll start working on her soon.

I'm a writer, designer and maker. I design pretty things. I invent cool stuff. I enjoy repairing and maintaining older technology. Pretty new to the typewriter scene.


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