Somewhat Working Condition. Unfortunately this machine has a broken part which inhibits its ability for the platen to roll properly. Also, some of the letters don't print well the first time through. Still, I have desired a Corsair for a long time, loving the style of their build and the ease of travel for these compact machines. I don't prefer the plastic builds functionally compared to the metal bodies from the 50's, but they are aesthetically pleasing for sure.

Though I have had a love for typewriters since I was a kid (in the 90's) I didn't start collecting in earnest until 2020 (having had 3 typewriters still in my posession and several long gone). Since then, I have become an avid collector, focusing primarily on fully functional manual typewriters. After collecting more than 30, I determined that my favorite Brand overall is Smith Corona and I attempt to hone my collection in that direction. Here's the preservation of one of the best storytellers we've ever known!!
