1949 Smith Corona Sterling Serial # 5A120778 1949 Smith Corona Sterling typewriter, Serial # 5A120778 Ian Brumfield's 1949 Smith Corona Sterling typewriter. 2014-09-03 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Ian Brumfield: 1949 Smith Corona Sterling Serial # 5A120778 This was my first manual typewriter. The case is a little wrinkled from water damage and the subsequent repairs, but the machine itself isn't in a bad shape. As evidenced by the typeface sample it is in desperate need of a new ribbon. A great $5 yard sale find.

UPDATE: (9/3/14) Digital archaeology reveals that I got this machine on July 6th 2013.
