Description:
Imagine if SC would have done the molded body work in red. They could have without adding any cost. I think they made the department store models ugly to keep the dealers happy.
Available from 1967-1970. And to confuse things, a few 70 models were sold as Celebrity while they had the Electric Celebrity 12. The concurrently available Constellation is same machine, but 12 inch carriage. In 70 the Constellation became the Constellation II.

Typewriters are the perfect blend of using one's technical skills, history and functional purpose. My goal is type tested machines. My interests are not isolated to anyone area. For example, I am a big fan of Smith Corona electrics, mid century electrics and all things Royal.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Sears Citation on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Sears Serial Number page and the Sears Citation By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
