Description:
I got this drab, brown SC 5S series from a fellow collector from Baltimore, MD in June of 2023. It works. I wrote Tom Hanks a note on this machine, complaining that I did not like the look of it... only to realize later that day that he holds up this very machine, in this color, as the one machine he'd take with him if he was stuck on a deserted isle. Oh well.

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.
