1963 Smith Corona Sterling Serial # 5AX122252 1963 Smith Corona Sterling typewriter, Serial # 5AX122252 LaDonna Qualtieri's 1963 Smith Corona Sterling typewriter. 2024-04-04 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of LaDonna Qualtieri: 1963 Smith Corona Sterling Serial # 5AX122252 Spring Green, resembles Avocado. A Goodwill grab at $36, it needs some dust removal and a new ribbon. It has No. 66 Elite Typeface, 12 cpi. Metal ink spools are intact with a completely dry ribbon. Although the case handle is missing, someone cared enough to install a rope handle with a couple bolts. The typeface sample is after having the machine serviced at a shop. I will be selling or tracing in this one because I prefer a larger typeface. This one has moved on to the collection of Jen and Tracy!

I have many pen pals and correspond via handwritten and typed letters. I have a (painful) sitting disability and type while standing- UPDATE! I can also type on an ultraportable I set up on my bed. Typing and collecting machines with different typefaces keeps me busy and happily distracted from the difficulties in life-fountain pens, too, and I can write legibly, in cursive, while laying down. Join me on Type Pals and register for the monthly postcard exchanges. The “Cat Mews†is a quarterly publication of the philatelic topical group Cats On Stamps Study Unit (COSSU), for which I am a column contributor. My cats are Wiffle Wizard and Urushi (Rushi) Blizzard, aka the Blizzard Sisters. IRL friend on here is Zach Hubbird
