Full Working Condition. I absolutely love the look and color of this machine and in general am a big fan of the color schemes for SM3 typewriters. I had to adjust the spacing of the main housing because the carriage was rubbing due to deteriorated washers. I replaced them and it works wonderfully.

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!!
