1968 Smith Corona Super Sterling
Antique Shop $50
Fully Working Condition. One of the first typewriters in my official collection. I love the typefeel and especially the hollow, metallic sound. The only thing is that it periodically skips on certain letters, possibly some debris in the escapement, otherwise, a typewriter I'm happy to return to. -- Fun fact: It was supposedly a machine in a Typewriter Orchestra for a time.

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!!
