1959 Smith Corona Sterling Serial # 5 A 729459 1959 Smith Corona Sterling typewriter, Serial # 5 A 729459 Rick Willis's 1959 Smith Corona Sterling typewriter. 2018-11-13 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Rick Willis: 1959 Smith Corona Sterling Serial # 5 A 729459 This was my second typewriter, so it officially made me a collector. Since then, I found it another happy home.
I learned how to repair disconnected type bars on this one and generally got oriented to this popular, made in the USA model. True to its reputation its a smooth typer! A great complement to my Olympia SM3.
Glad I found one in the "Holiday Case."
