The L.C. Smith & Bros. Typewriter Company was founded in Syracuse, N.Y. on January, 1st, 1903 by Lyman C. Smith and his brothers Hurlburt W., Wilbert L. and Monroe C., who resign from Smith Premier over the company's refusal to introduce a frontstroke typewriter. The Smith brothers, along with former Smith Premier employee Carl Gabrielson introduce L.C. Smith No. 2 in 1904.

The Rose Typewriter Company formed in 1908 by George Rose, son of Frank S. Rose, who designed the Standard Folding #1 in 1902. The machine was patented in 1904, but Frank Rose died in 1905 before he could see his design be manufactured. Manufacturing began in 1908 and in 1909 the manufacturing rights were purchased by Ben Conger and C. F. Brown, who formed The Standard Folding Typewriter Company and set up manufacturing in Groton, N.Y. and name changed to "Corona Typewriter Company" in 1914.

L.C. Smith & Bros. merges with Corona Typewriter Company in 1925 to become "L.C. Smith Bros. & Corona Typewriters, Inc." headquartered in Syracuse, N.Y.

1B00001-4B02992 1931     Month Code 1-4, Year Code "B", 5 digit serial number which recycles every 2 months.
Production of Smith-Corona Floating Shift model begins, Corona 4 production slows drastically.
(Corona 4 production probably temporarily stops in Sept/Oct 1931, assembly stops in July/Aug 1931 and "5B" parts from Sept/Oct are left to assemble in 1932.) 		1,6,13, 15,37
5B00001-5B01151 and 1C00001-1C00665 1932     In 1932 the Corona 4 were manufactured under two series (B and C), Month Code 5 and 1, 5 digit serial number.
It seems likely that a batch of new parts were produced in Jan/Feb 1932, 665 of which were assembled throughout the year along with 1151 "5B" machines manufactured in Sept/Oct 1931.
Production of Corona 4 "J" Series begins. 		1,6,13, 15,37
1C00666-1C02162 and 1D00001-1D04515 1933     In 1933 the Corona 4 were manufactured under two series (C and D), Month Code 1, 5 digit serial number.
It seems likely that a batch of new parts were produced in Jan/Feb 1933, 4515 of which were assembled throughout the year along with 1496 "1C" machines manufactured in Jan/Feb 1932.

1EO0001-6EO0065 1934     Month Code 1-6, Year Code "EO", 4 digit serial number which recycles every 2 months.
In 1934, Corona added the letter "O" to the year code and dropped another digit from the serial sequence.
Differentiating between the "O" (letter O) and "0" (number "0") is difficult, so beware.
Production of Corona 4 is now so low (no more than a few hundred every 2 months) that 5 digit series number is no longer needed.
Production of Corona 4 "Improved" begins.		 1,6,13, 15,37,52
1HO0001-3HO0305 1935     Month Code 1-3, Year Code "HO", 4 digit serial number which recycles every 2 months.

For DuPont DUCO® finish machines, "L" prefix is superceded by Color Code (see above) except where finish is "L" (Lavender).
Production of Corona Zepyr and Zephyr DeLuxe begins. 		1,6,13, 15,52
L1PO0001-L5PO0500 1939     "L" prefix to Month Code 1-5 and Year Code "PO", 4 digit serial number which recycles every 2 months.
For DuPont DUCO® finish machines, "L" prefix is superceded by Color Code (see above) except where finish is "L" (Lavender).		 1,6,13, 15,52
