Description:
I picked this typewriter up from a local vintage store on 03/27/2026. Within there was another Smith Corona, that one an electric typebar that seemed to use carbon film -- I very well may pick that one up soon as well.
I am uncertain of where the serial number is to be found -- I chose the set of numbers that looked most similar to serial numbers as I have seen elsewhere.

Points: 205
Hobbyist of far too many things, but, most recently, typewriters. I presently have 5:
- a Smith Corona Galaxie,
- an Olivetti Underwood 21,
- a Smith Corona Corona Seventy (electric),
- a Royal KMG,
- a Smith Corona Super Sterling,
- and a Smith Corona Skyriter.
I hope to curb over-collection -- fortunately, I have found all typewriters that I need to fulfill my needs. (Though, I am not certain that will stop me from haphazardly purchasing more.)
I have a far too neglected website at https://ashavedbear.dev which is hosted by Neocities. I hope to return to regular updates to it, but I often fail to find the time for all of my hobbies.
