1956 Smith Corona Silent Super Serial # 5T 277768 X 1956 Smith Corona Silent Super typewriter, Serial # 5T 277768 X Max Burtonen's 1956 Smith Corona Silent Super typewriter. 2020-04-26 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Max Burtonen: 1956 Smith Corona Silent Super Serial # 5T 277768 X I fixed this thrift store find for a friend. I have a '53 Silent and noticed the nice "1/!" and "+/=" keys.

This was beat up, filthy, full of cat hair, and pounded out, but I did get it working.

"Desert Sand" color with an elite (12 cpi) typeface. This came with the advertised "Holiday Case."
