1951 Smith Corona Sterling Serial # 5A 315295 1951 Smith Corona Sterling typewriter, Serial # 5A 315295 David Vandergucht's 1951 Smith Corona Sterling typewriter. 2024-11-16 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of David Vandergucht: 1951 Smith Corona Sterling Serial # 5A 315295 Bought at an antique sale. It has a case, but it's in pretty bad shape and hidden away out in the garage. It's one of the black square wooden box type cases. The typewriter itself has a funky smell, which I've noticed on another old Smith-Corona since buying this one. The paint is in rough condition, but the typewriter works fine enough. The tabs are set using manual stops which is kind of fun. To be fair, keyset tabs work much more efficiently, but sometimes moving the tabs around is fun too.
