1912 L.C. Smith 5 Serial # 180912-5 1912 L.C. Smith 5 typewriter, Serial # 180912-5 Jacob Peacock's 1912 L.C. Smith 5 typewriter. 2026-04-26 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Jacob Peacock: 1912 L.C. Smith 5 Serial # 180912-5 The carriage return lever is broken off so it needs to be replaced. It is mounted on a board that seems to be from a typewriter desk. The typeface is PICA (labeled 1). The type sample will sadly have to wait until I can get a ribbon and the spool screws. The escapement was too tight in some places. That has been fixed so it types now.
