197X Smith Corona Courier Serial # 8YA343904 197X Smith Corona Courier typewriter, Serial # 8YA343904 Sam Rao's 197X Smith Corona Courier typewriter. 2023-07-04 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Sam Rao: 197X Smith Corona Courier Serial # 8YA343904 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.
