Description:
This is a 1949 Smith Corona Silent. It was found by my grandfather at a yard sale for $5. I named this machine āPapaā as that both fits the character of the typewriter and also what I called my grandfather.

Hi! Iām Ryan and Iām rather a novice when it comes to typewriter collecting. I have been interested in typewriters since I was in my early teens. My collection first started with a 1949 Smith Corona Silent my grandfather got me for $5 from a yard sale. I recently added a 1982 Sears The Electric 2 to my collection. My latest find is a 1949 Underwood Universal!
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Smith Corona Silent 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 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
