1955 Smith Corona Silent Super
Pica Typeface (10 cpi)
Considered by many to be the pinnacle of SCM portables, the 5 series is a snappy, handsome machine that much beloved by writers. Mechanically, it types like very well- Smooth, snappy, and satisfying.
The Silent Super was the culmination of all of the 4 and 5 series Smith Corona portables. It is very similar to the Silent model, but adds tabulation set/clear to the keyboard versus the manual stops on the Silent.
Cosmetically, the brown taupe paint is good shape. Some signs of use, but nothing that detracts from the overall aesthetic. The pica typeface produces a very nice imprint, and at 10 characters per inch, it’s easy to read.
The case is in good condition as well, and one of the Smith Corona “Holiday” cases with a typewriter locking frame that can be removed to utilize the case to go “on holiday”.
Smith Corona Typewriters were(and are) a fine example of American design and quality. A true writers machine, and the signs of use only add to the character!
A very cool typewriter that’s a joy to look at, and even more so to use!
It comes with everything you see in the pictures and more;
YOUR CHOICE of an solid black or bichrome ribbon in nylon or cotton on vintage Smith Corona specific metal spools(installed), a reprinted owners manual, the typewriter, its handsome and sturdy hard 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 your path to analog independence and distraction-free writing!
Has been disassembled, cleaned, oiled lightly in the spots that are supposed to be, and serviced by someone that LOVES typewriters.
Free shipping in the continental US, estimates available upon request for global customers.
