Description:
Somewhat rare "pinky/beige" Tower tabulator, a Smith Corona 5 series made for Sears in 1960 only. I've added this second one to my collection. The small atomic logo is actually an SR logo, for Sears and Roebuck. It came in the tan, tweedy-look fiberglass "holiday" case. I cleaned the typewriter and it is now a very good machine. In fact, most Smith Corona series 5 machines I've owned have been solid typers with few repairs needed other than cleaning. Gifted to a writer.
