1967 Smith Corona Cougar XL Serial # 6Y969550 1967 Smith Corona Cougar XL typewriter, Serial # 6Y969550 LaDonna Qualtieri's 1967 Smith Corona Cougar XL typewriter. 2023-10-03 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of LaDonna Qualtieri: 1967 Smith Corona Cougar XL Serial # 6Y969550 A racing-striped clamshell portable in great condition. It arrived with the original booklet. “Working typewriter, just needs a new ribbon” gamble, in the regular cursive script I’d been looking for to write letters. Line spacing is 1 or 2 only and can accommodate one ink color. It has tabs, typing pressure adjustment, and a lever for ribbon reversal under the hood. Error control space bar is new to me so I’m glad to have the manual. All of my type specimens are done on Maruman hole-punched pages and placed into their “Make My Day” mini-binder. Jetpens.com. Update: had this one dunk-cleaned and a fresh ribbon installed. The type has improved significantly and a new example has been uploaded.

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.
