An Interesting Smith-Corona

September 28, 2018 By Paul

I like type faces. Congress Pica is a favorite and who would pass up a typewriter with Vogue type face!

This customers 1957 Smith-Corona Sterling machine looks like an every day Joe Holiday typewriter from the 1950’s. That is until you look closer at a few things.

First, the ruler has a VERY low character count, only 50 per line. Second, around the back at the tab rack the same thing.

Then you go to the keyboard and . . . are soooo disappointed! It looks so very normal (except the ribbon selector has only blue and white).

Well, OK. When you type on this guy surprise, surprise, surprise.

A VERY LARGE type face called Sight Saver #30, 6 cpi. Feast your eyes on this kinda sorta oh so very cool machine.
