This 1932 Smith Corona (no prefix) comes before the Standard, Sterling, etc. Operationally, this is a great typewriter. I enjoyed the feel of the keys and was able to type fairly quickly on this machine. Suitable for medium to heavy use. Suitable for petite hands as well!

 

REPAINTED. Here’s your chance to get a highly sought-after typewriter for a great price!! The original finish was maroon but was not in good condition. We repainted portions of it but PLEASE NOTE, the paint, in this case, bubbled on us and did not come out perfectly. Also, the front panel of the typewriter looks two-tone maroon. (This didn’t show in the images but you can see it in the demo video). We have adjusted the price considerably because the finish is uneven and bubbled (please see images). Normally we would price this around $375.
Comes with the original case. The outer cloth is torn in several places but is still relatively sturdy.
The performance is very nice with a smooth keystroke and everything works. Metal spools included with EXTRA new ribbon.

We recommend adding a non-slip typewriter pad to keep the typewriter from scooting across the table.

Serviced, cleaned, tested, new ribbon installed, demo & tutorial videos. Be sure to watch the demo video so you can see how it performs!  This uses a Universal Typewriter ribbon, 2-colors. A new black/red ribbon is installed for you. An extra ribbon can be added to your order and future replacement ribbons may be purchased on Etsy or on our website.

(REMEMBER: we professionally SERVICE our typewriters and do NOT replace parts, unless otherwise noted. We do NOT restore or refurbish.)
