Description: 1933 Smith Corona Silent Portable Flat Top Typewriter. Beautiful maroon glossy finish. Pica Typeface 10 cpi. Very good working condition. Very good cosmetic condition with a few minor paint chips on lid edges and by the ribbon selector and ribbon reverse levers (see photos). All decals/emblems are in very good condition. Includes copy of instruction booklet. The platen rubber is in fair condition (some platen rubber hardening but can still take a fingernail indent). Paper feeds rollers are in good condition and paper feeds as it should. The case is in good condition with some minor scuffing - latches work as they should. The typewriter rubber feet are intact but have hardened so I will include a typing mat (a couple of the photos show the mat). Typewriter has been meticulously cleaned, lubricated and adjusted. It is very clean, and has all its interior felt insulation. New black ribbon installed. All operations have been tested and are in very good working order. This is an amazing, and beautiful 90+ year old typing machine ready to display and use. I have refurbished many typewriters over the years and take great care to bring great typewriters back to ready to use working condition. I carefully pack each typewriter.
