1957 Smith Corona 88 Serial # 88E4311090-11 1957 Smith Corona 88 typewriter, Serial # 88E4311090-11 Mark Schrad's 1957 Smith Corona 88 typewriter. 2021-10-16 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Mark Schrad: 1957 Smith Corona 88 Serial # 88E4311090-11 I got this 1957 Smith Corona 88 from a retiring keychopper in Blue Bell, PA, in October 2021. Since it had plastic keytops, he apparently saw no value in chopping them off for jewelry making, so he threw it in the "free" pile at a garage sale. It cleaned up quite nicely!
