1951 Smith Corona Sterling Serial # 5A 245796 1951 Smith Corona Sterling typewriter, Serial # 5A 245796 Mike Green's 1951 Smith Corona Sterling typewriter. 2025-11-16 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Mike Green: 1951 Smith Corona Sterling Serial # 5A 245796 there are prettier machines but the Sterlings and Clippers from this period are a timeless American design of rounded edges and great performance. I eventually gift them away but felt the need again to have one around. There is something endearing about those 6 olive green buttons among the dark; and the space bars which don't quite match, varying from chocolate brown to greenish.
