1958 Smith Corona Secretarial Serial # 62E5088751 1958 Smith Corona Secretarial typewriter, Serial # 62E5088751 LaDonna Qualtieri's 1958 Smith Corona Secretarial typewriter. 2023-12-28 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of LaDonna Qualtieri: 1958 Smith Corona Secretarial Serial # 62E5088751 A green giant brought back to life by Ace Typewriter in Portland! I bought it via Goodwill online $53 total. I bet that barely covered shipping! It was packaged very well, especially with the cumbersome problem of the carriage being stuck all the way to the right side. The typeface sample is by Ace and itemizes what repairs were done. Total investment $153 and some desk real estate. This model is sometimes called a Secretarial 88, because of the 88 characters, but I see no other branding on the machine. Double Goth Pica typeface bonus! Sold to Keith 12/28/23

I have many pen pals and correspond via handwritten and typed letters. I have a (painful) sitting disability and type while standing- UPDATE! I can also type on an ultraportable I set up on my bed. Typing and collecting machines with different typefaces keeps me busy and happily distracted from the difficulties in life-fountain pens, too, and I can write legibly, in cursive, while laying down. Join me on Type Pals and register for the monthly postcard exchanges. The “Cat Mews†is a quarterly publication of the philatelic topical group Cats On Stamps Study Unit (COSSU), for which I am a column contributor. My cats are Wiffle Wizard and Urushi (Rushi) Blizzard, aka the Blizzard Sisters.


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