Description:
Robin's egg blue Tower Tabulator. This series, made for Sears & Roebuck by Smith Corona of 5 series parts, dates 1960 only and came in a variety of pastel colors. It's basically An SC sterling or silent from the period. Good typers once you dissolve all the old dried grease. The "atomic" logo is actually SR, for Sears & Roebuck. They came with the Smith Corona "holiday case." Called that because you could remove the aluminum skeleton, throw in some clothes and . . . . go on holiday.
