It's got an unusually large font, (6 cpi), and is covered in ink stains and missing the logo. The lady told me she used this machine primarily to make stencils at her job.
I plan to repaint it dark blue, cast a new logo in clear resin, and install LEDs behind the logo.

I've been collecting typewriters since 2010. I currently have 100+ machines in my possession. A little over half of them reside in my "personal" collection, while the rest are machines I intend to clean up for sale, or are long-term restoration projects (I'm looking at you, Olivers and Foxes!).
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Smith Corona Sterling on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Smith Corona Serial Number page and the Smith Corona Sterling By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
