Description:
The database says the SCM block logo was added in 1960, but the serial number here indicates 1959.
This is an early Galaxie with no Change-A-Type keys and with a different ribbon cover opening motion, where it slides on rails instead of the more familiar articulated arms.
It belonged to a friend who got it new.

While I find all of mankind's inventions interesting, I am most enchanted by the human-scale arts and devices, the ones that can be created (and repaired) in a home workshop or studio; the ones that can be understood by looking at them; the ones that do something useful or stir admiration. Typewriters work for me.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Smith Corona Galaxie on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Smith Corona Serial Number page and the Smith Corona Galaxie By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
