Description:
from a junk dealer’s yard sale; needs cleaning, for sure; probably a very good typer eventually
pica roman type. You'll see a sample when I do.

While I find all of mankind's inventions interesting, I am most enchanted by the human-scale arts and devices, the ones that can be created (and repaired) in a home workshop or studio; the ones that can be understood by looking at them; the ones that do something useful or stir admiration. Typewriters work for me.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Smith Corona 88 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Smith Corona Serial Number page and the Smith Corona 88 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
