Full Working Condition. The name rings true, in comparison to non-insulated typewriters, it is definitelty muted in its sound. It types well overall, however returning the carriage often has some drag, unsure if it needs oiling on the track or if there is some resistance from the drawband, either way it is a well working machine and in great condition.

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!!
