Description:
Made in Canada, which apparently maintained the "Super" name after U.S. 5T models became Silent-Supers. Elite typeface.
Bought from a fellow hobbyist in November 2020 in Ottawa, this represents my first foray into typewriter collecting. As of this writing (March 2021) it needs some work, particularly on the type basket, which seems a bit loose; the platen is a stone and should be recovered at some point.

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