1954 Smith Corona Silent Super Serial # 5T 212943 1954 Smith Corona Silent Super typewriter, Serial # 5T 212943 Rick Willis's 1954 Smith Corona Silent Super typewriter. 2025-03-24 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Rick Willis: 1954 Smith Corona Silent Super Serial # 5T 212943 A great typer with a surprisingly good platen for its age. I found it in well-serviced condition, except that someone apparently used a lubricant that turned gummy. The platen would barely turn. I cleaned the ratchet and detent assembly, and proceeded to type four good pages. Found a new home for this one.
