Description:
Sears house brand of the Smith Corona Sterling. Sold alongside the Quiet Tabulator, which is the same except for the insulation in the body housing vs just the top cover on the Commander.
A draw band and a few bent links causing troubles fixed, but otherwise super clean.

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 anyone area. For example, I am a big fan of Smith Corona electrics, mid century electrics and all things Royal.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Tower Commander on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Tower Serial Number page and the Tower Commander By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
