1979 Smith Corona Classic 12 Serial # 6LTV582472 1979 Smith Corona Classic 12 typewriter, Serial # 6LTV582472 Jonathan Crowe's 1979 Smith Corona Classic 12 typewriter. 2022-11-13 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Jonathan Crowe: 1979 Smith Corona Classic 12 Serial # 6LTV582472 When your friends, family and colleagues find out you like typewriters, they start leaving them for you like zucchini. This Classic 12 with a French-Canadian keyboard was brought into my wife's work by one of her coworkers, who found it in a dump. Though it seems fine from above, it's badly rusted on the bottom; it seems to have spent some time partly submerged. It may end up being a parts machine if Evapo-rust can't save it.
