Description:
This one's my first typewriter and when I bought it, it was never used and was just imported and lying dormant in a store for the past 3-4 decades and was restored for instant purchase and use.
Like any Smith-Corona, it's a pleasure to write on the Courier for long hours. I have questioned repainting or adding stickers to the case but I want it to keep its value.
Note: The serial number can be found on the right side of the base of the key slugs (below the upper left corner of the right ribbon spool).

I'm a young(er) typewriter nut who doggedly pursued and waited for the day I'd buy a Smith-Corona to write with. The hobby is gradually becoming an obsession with newer members coming in :)
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Smith Corona Courier on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Smith Corona Serial Number page and the Smith Corona Courier By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
