1963 Smith Corona Sterling Serial # 5AX 108957 1963 Smith Corona Sterling typewriter, Serial # 5AX 108957 Amanda Wood's 1963 Smith Corona Sterling typewriter. 2023-07-09 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Amanda Wood: 1963 Smith Corona Sterling Serial # 5AX 108957 Dawn Grey, Elite No.66 typeface (12 cpi)
This was another unseen purchase that worked out in my favor. It needed serious cleaning, the */- key was unattached and bent out of the way in the interior, and the shift was out of alignment so it wasn't without some effort to get it shined up.
This is my first typewriter with something other than a 10 cpi Pica typeface so it will probably stick around for a little while, but it was bought as a refurb and sell.

Unfortunately a number of gouges on the body, but I suppose it's to be expected on most machines.

I am quite new to the typewriter world (first bought 6/2023), but I sort of jumped right in with three typewriters in my first week. I am interested in the mechanics of manual typewriters, as well as have an affinity for cleaning up long-forgotten gems. I'm a Smith-Corona fiend, but any nice typewriter will do!


RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Smith Corona Sterling on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Smith Corona Serial Number page and the Smith Corona Sterling By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
