Yes that is a gorgeous typewriter! I have a 35' Standard which looks identical with exception to body style and mine is minus tabulation...they do type like a dream. I wish there was a way to fix the zinc but it's only a small inconvenience.
Beautiful Sterling! I'm a Smith-Corona person all the way - especially the 1950s portables. I have a couple 1950s Silent Supers that were spectacularly abused, but after a good cleaning and minor repairs, they are typing just the way I like. They are impressively durable machines.

ReplyDeleteNice machine! It types very well and neatly, and that tag must be extremely rare.
