Full Working Condition. This typewriter was in a deep state of disrepair and offered for free. I almost didn't take it, but it became a good project. After a DEEP cleaning, I was able to remove years of grime that had collected (making it seem almost reptilian) but I scrubbed it down pretty well. Still, mechnically, it works well and hasn't shown to have any functional issues.

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!!
