Description:
Pica; finished in "Desert Sand." Acquired October 2025.
This forlorn-looking typewriter was just too enticing to pass up. It's covered in grime, missing its case, and clearly has been abused by someone in the past. Nevertheless, I suspect there's a very nice machine hiding in there somewhere.

Been enjoying the hobby since 2015; finally getting around to sharing my collection digitally. I only keep the typewriters I use and enjoy the most, so check out my sightings to see all the machines that came and went.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Smith Corona Silent 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 Silent Super By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
