Description:
Likely manufactured in West Bromwich, England during the transition from the British Typewriter company to Smith Corona Marchant. A handsome machine from an interesting time in history of the Skyriter. I like the off white panel with black lettering in front of the paper support.

Went down the rabbit hole and came out a collector. I have an appreciation for craftsmanship and quality. The sound of a typewriter takes me back to my childhood. I had to take a Typing class in high school!
Typewriters have a story and a personality. Tell them your secrets. They can't be hacked!!
