Description:
First year for the 3Y. This one was pretty clean. The case had some water issues, so I cut the lower pad out, reinforced things, and glued in some pad from the craft bin.
Interesting that SC goes back and forth on this cover logo until they eventually settle on it later on.

Typewriters are the perfect blend of using one's technical skills, history and functional purpose. My goal is type tested machines. My interests are not isolated to any one area. For example, I am a big fan of Smith Corona electrics, mid century electrics and all things Royal.
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.
