Description:
Found in the garden by the road, where it served as a decoration. I decided to buy it and save it from rusting. I haven't been able to decide for a year if it's reasonable to clean it. Surprisingly, it looks great after cleaning. It may be possible to write on it. I leave the repair to an experienced typewriter repairman.
Update:
Repair impossible, too much damaged parts. Sold as decoration 02/2023.

Historical typewriters, cameras, sewing machines, ... - all beautiful things, that work only on the basis of human skill and ability. Therefore, they deserve our attention and respect. I do not want to let those inventions that pushed us forward much faster than we were prepared, them disappear in this way.
Lives in Michalovce, Slovakia. Proud father of two children. Started collecting in March 2020. More a hunter than a collector or restorer. But determined to change it and bring the machines to a new life. Thank you in advance for any of your advice and help. (English is not my strong side, so I use Uncle Google's help. Correct me anytime).
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the L.C. Smith 8 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the L.C. Smith Serial Number page and the L.C. Smith 8 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
