1951 Smith Corona Sterling Serial # 5A295306 1951 Smith Corona Sterling typewriter, Serial # 5A295306 Lynston Churchill's 1951 Smith Corona Sterling typewriter. 2026-09-29 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Lynston Churchill: 1951 Smith Corona Sterling Serial # 5A295306 This Sterling was found in great condition with it's original tweed case, all keys and features in good working order. There is some light corrosion on the carriage rail and a few small paint chips. The biggest issue is the mold in the case and sound-dampening felt, and severe nicotine staining. The machine has been disassembled and thoroughly cleaned, and I will try to get rid of the mold in the case as well.

Recently stricken with typewriter fever, I'm hunting to restore and re-home some rad machines.
