1952 Smith Corona Skyriter Serial # 2Y 117333 1952 Smith Corona Skyriter typewriter, Serial # 2Y 117333 Jonathan Crowe's 1952 Smith Corona Skyriter typewriter. 2023-05-03 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Jonathan Crowe: 1952 Smith Corona Skyriter Serial # 2Y 117333 Elite No. 66 typeface. Purchased via eBay in September 2021. Damaged in transport; was able to reconnect the carriage spring and space bar, but the T typebar has been bent akimbo. Despite that it still has one of the best alignments I've seen on a Smith-Corona ultraportable.

Update, June 2022: The bent typebar has been fixed, plus a few other things. Very nice typer now!
