1934 Corona Comet "Flat-Top" ☄️NEW PLATEN☄️ **Personally Curated**
Elite Typeface (12 cpi)
Black Crinkle
*I put a tremendous amount of focus & care into my restorations, but this one got a bit more attention as it was initially destined to be part of my personal collection. However, I have committed to a large lot purchase and am culling such special machines accordingly. -KJ/NT
The Comet was sold alongside the top of the line flagship portable the Standard/Silent as a budget model that retained all of the charm at a lower price point. Tabulation, gloss paint, touch control, and even color selection were removed from this machine in order to lower the production cost, but it sure didn’t lower the quality or feel!
Snappy, light, and deliberate feeling keystrokes, understated black crinkle paint paired with the solitary gold Corona decal make this machine one of my favorite models of the era in both performance and aesthetics. Cosmetically, it's a ridiculously handsome machine. Paint is about as close to perfect as I’ve seen, and this is the first and ONLY Comet I’ve actually acquired. A handsome, quick little machine- light key-feel, decisive strikes, and overall just a joy to use!
The hard case is functional and well worn, but like the machine itself, still very handsome for an 85 year-old!
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 has a brand new platen recovered by the fine folks at J.J. Short & Associates, rejuvenated feed rollers, and NOS rubber feet from a lot surplus. It is READY TO WRITE!
It even has the original key for the case which I’ll include, though I highly recommend not using it. (Losing the key to a locked case is a HUGE bummer, just saying.)
This is a monochrome machine, meaning it only types in one color. But then, black is really all you need! ;)
It comes with everything you see in the pictures and more;
YOUR CHOICE of a brand spankin' new solid black, or bichrome (red/black) ribbon available in cotton or nylon on vintage Smith Corona specific metal spools(installed), a reprinted original owners manual, the typewriter, handsome case(with OG key!), 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!
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!
