1955 Smith Corona Skyriter Serial # 2Y 289774 1955 Smith Corona Skyriter typewriter, Serial # 2Y 289774 Joel Gomez's 1955 Smith Corona Skyriter typewriter. 2026-07-06 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Joel Gomez: 1955 Smith Corona Skyriter Serial # 2Y 289774 My first Smith-Corona machine to work on. Purchased online on June 29, 2026. The original owner used it for his auto repair shop to prepare invoices. Stated that it wasn't used much but the amount of grease, oil, and other vehicle fluids covering it made me believe otherwise. I got most of it off the main chassis and underside and although it still smells like an mechanic shop, I quite enjoy the scent. Standard Pica typeface.

I work in IT and enjoy slamming the keys that go clickity-clack from time to time.
I enjoy repairing, maintaining, and cleaning typewriters.


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