Description:
Found this at a thrift store for $15. I was attracted to the green color and service sticker, but apparently these aren't easy to find. I don't know much about a particular model and it's alleged rarity, yet I'm glad to have it. Needs new feet, but otherwise functions fine.

I am a professional historian and writer. I have been collecting typewriters since 2013, and use them for all of my work (novels, short stories, poetry, non-fiction, and personal letters). I have a passion for all things antique, but hold a special place for these tools. Some of my collection is up for sale or trade, so if you see something you want, let me know!

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