Full Working Condition. This typewriter took a bit to return to working order but once done, it was a good machine, a little slow and clunky, but sturdy as well. This also completed a full run of typewriters from the main 5 companies (Remington, Royal, Olympia, Smith-Corona, and Underwood) from the 50's in my collection.

Though I have had a love for typewriters since I was a kid (in the 90's) I didn't start collecting in earnest until 2020 (having had 3 typewriters still in my posession and several long gone). Since then, I have become an avid collector, focusing primarily on fully functional manual typewriters. After collecting more than 30, I determined that my favorite Brand overall is Smith Corona and I attempt to hone my collection in that direction. Here's the preservation of one of the best storytellers we've ever known!!
