1956 Smith Corona Silent Super Serial # 5T 277773X 1956 Smith Corona Silent Super typewriter, Serial # 5T 277773X Brad Sarno's 1956 Smith Corona Silent Super typewriter. 2020-04-26 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Brad Sarno: 1956 Smith Corona Silent Super Serial # 5T 277773X Another fine example of this great portable. The beige/blonde color scheme caught my attention. This one is in great shape, very clean and works great. The typeface is VERY small. I measure about 12-pitch elite, but it almost looks smaller than that for some reason. The case too is in excellent shape.

I've spent my life as a mechanical and electronics tinkerer, bikes, cars, lawnmowers, appliances, cameras, audio gear, guitars, amplifiers, and pedal steel guitars. I was trained as a typist for 2 years back in the late 70's on IBM Selectric II's. At home I recall my mother having an Olympia SM3. More recently we got our daughter a typewriter for Christmas, and that somehow sparked my own personal interest in these fine and interesting machines. Now it's a habit that just won't quit. Daily searches on Craigslist, frequent trips to antique stores & malls, garage sales, etc. It's a fun and healthy addiction.
