1952 Smith Corona Skyriter Serial # 2Y 113069 1952 Smith Corona Skyriter typewriter, Serial # 2Y 113069 Zachary Thompson's 1952 Smith Corona Skyriter typewriter. 2021-08-08 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Zachary Thompson: 1952 Smith Corona Skyriter Serial # 2Y 113069 Purchased in Spring, 2020 from an eBay seller in southern Oregon. Came from an "old guy who...loved his things." Obvious that it was used regularly for years as the thumbprint on the spacebar boasts. The left hand keyboard took a hit at some point. All keys except the 'a' bent back to position, and the low 'a' now adds character to the keyboard and print. I keep a little electrical tape under the lid to prevent squeaking and extra paper in the lid, held on with magnets. Spam can surface magnets include Jean-Luc Picard and Ribbons Unlimited, which provided the spiffy green ribbon.
