1954 Smith Corona Silent Serial # 5S488016 1954 Smith Corona Silent typewriter, Serial # 5S488016 Benjamin Esh's 1954 Smith Corona Silent typewriter. 2024-08-31 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Benjamin Esh: 1954 Smith Corona Silent Serial # 5S488016 Smith Corona Silent. This was the first SC I bought. It had a single owner, which is usually a good thing, until I realized that the previous owner had locked up the entire machine with grease and WD-40. After many rounds of cleaning it finally is in working order and is a joy to write on.

I'm a software engineer in the Chicagoland area. I've been collecting "vintage" vinyl, computers, mechanical keyboards and typewriters since I was a kid. Born into an analog world, but grew up in a digital one.

My wife is a writer and I enjoy problem solving and puzzles, so naturally fixing I fell in love with fixing and maintaining typewriters and she then gets to enjoy all of these machines!


RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Smith Corona Silent on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Smith Corona Serial Number page and the Smith Corona Silent By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
