1972 Smith Corona Galaxie 12

Classic Elite Typeface (12 cpi)

Considered by many to be the pinnacle of SCM portables, the Galaxie 12 is the top of the line portable Typewriter sold by Smith Corona in the late 60’s to 70’s. This one is in virtually mint condition. The paint, plastic, and mechanics all as nice as the day it was purchased in 1972. The elite typeface is professional, concise, and fits more on each page at 12 characters per inch..

These portables are much beloved by collectors and writers alike.

The 50's era Smith Coronas were(and are) a fine example of American design and quality that only improved as they moved into the 60’s and 70’s.

The Classic 12 is the culmination of years of Smith Corona innovations in the Galaxie line of portable Typewriters. They had things very well figured out by this point, and the Classic 12 has ALL the bells and whistles!

It is in very good condition. The paint, plastic, and mechanics are all virtually untouched by the years, the case is in similar condition and does a fine job protecting the machine.

This is NOT an "as-is" typewriter.

It has been lovingly cleaned, oiled, serviced, and thoroughly tested to ensure it'll hang with whatever you decide to write with it.

It comes with everything you see in the pictures and more;

A brand spankin' new ribbon on super cool Smith Corona metal spools(installed), a reprinted original owners manual, the typewriter, its case, an OFFICIAL Nashville Typewriter sticker and hand-typed note from me, the typeface text sample, and even a few sheets of paper to get you started on the path to analog independence and distraction free writing!
