Normally I am a Remington man, but a shooting buddy found this Smiff along with a Remington while dumpster diving a couple years back. Sold be the Remington and through the Smith in for free.
The Remington was fine, but the Smith needed some serious TLC.
I just got it back from Kensington Typewriter Repair.
It's a nice typer. Smooth. Might be because they lubed it during service. I could do a term paper on this!
Tom Hanks' favorite model, the Smith Corona Clipper, which is why I went ahead and took the trouble to make a dead typewriter work again. It had a cracked typebar assembly. Where the base of all them typebars attach and connect to the keybars.
If I had to guess... 4C series from the 1940s? Prolly 49.

You can always offend hippies in the comment section. Chances are, those will be held up as a proper example...
