Description:
My first electric type bar typewriter. I like the 1950s styling of the Smith-Corona 5 series typewriters. Smith-Corona manual typewriters from the 1950s are my favorite typewriters to use and appreciate their beauty. It has an elite typeface.

Retired newspaper production manager. Typed thousands of pages advertising copy to be sent to typesetters on a Underwood Standard during the 1970's. Enjoy everything analog after many years living in the digital world. Purchased my first manual typewriter (Smith Corona Classic 12) nine months ago. Since then I have picked a few nice typewriters. I feel I am more a user than a collector.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Smith Corona Electra 12 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Smith Corona Serial Number page and the Smith Corona Electra 12 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
