Description:
I wasn't sure about adding this to the database as their is an abundance of this particular make and model. I decided to add this as most of the others don't seem to have a 1 key or an Rs key so i'm not sure how unusual that is on this make. It's nice to type on and has had its full service for the next 80 odd years.

I picked up a couple of typewriters for display and use for the public at events where a police station is set up. The few i have are all Imperial Good Companions. Learnt to type on a manual typewriter, then on an electric one while in comprehensive but have completly forgotten how to touch type. Although pecking at the keys is more in keeping with a station.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Smith Corona Sterling on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Smith Corona Serial Number page and the Smith Corona Sterling By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
