Description:
Pica font Sterling from 1950. The case (not pictured) has a false tweed pattern skin, but it's not necessarily any cooler than the 1949 all black version. Update 7/1/19 I sold the typewriter to a lady from Illinois, buying it for her daughter to use.

After finding a Smith-Corona Coronet 12 at a curb-side (in Winter while walking the dog) I carried it home; after it thawed out and started coming back to life I was hooked. My interest in this hobby lead to taking two parts typewriters to create one good unit. This typewriter aliment is (pretty much) in-curable!
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Smith Corona Sterling on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Smith Corona Serial Number page and the Smith Corona Sterling By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
