1949 Smith Corona Silent Serial # 5S106643 1949 Smith Corona Silent typewriter, Serial # 5S106643 Suzanne LaPierre's 1949 Smith Corona Silent typewriter. 2025-02-09 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Suzanne LaPierre: 1949 Smith Corona Silent Serial # 5S106643 This was a gift from a neighbor and needs some work. The "h" key is detached and there is some rust. I haven't even gotten the chance to do a good clean with mineral spirits and compressed air yet, so stay tuned. I hope to have an "after" photo eventually.

I am a librarian, artist, writer, and co-author of the book Desegregation in Northern Virginia Libraries (The History Press, 2023). I like to write letters and poems and make type-doodles on my typewriters. Currently my collection is centered around midcentury models.
