1947 Smith Corona Super Speed Serial # 1A2066200-11 1947 Smith Corona Super Speed typewriter, Serial # 1A2066200-11 Maxim Heindl's 1947 Smith Corona Super Speed typewriter. 2026-03-08 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Maxim Heindl: 1947 Smith Corona Super Speed Serial # 1A2066200-11 I found this black beauty sitting in a display window across the street from the antique store from where it was being sold. I negotiated with the owner of the machine who also owned the shop it was for sale at. He offered a price of $300. I sat on it for about a month. On December 19, 2024, I brought the machine home. While cleaning her, I unwound the main spring and the original draw and broke. I replaced the draw and and retightened the mainspring during my Christmas vacation. That was a satisfying fix! I named her Victoria after the character from Tim Burtons Corpse Bride.

I have admired typewriters since I found my fairly recently acquired 1923 Underwood No. 5 from a local antique store in my hometown of Mount Vernon, Ohio. To me, typewriters are a window to the soul, allowing the user to creatively express themselves and to get to know more about themselves through poems, art, newsletters, or whatever the typer chooses to craft and create. I am always on the hunt and keep my eyes peeled for new finds wherever and whenever they come my way.
