and Corona typewriter!
Picked this up at a garage sale a while back. Repaired and cleaned, it works! It was made somewhere around 1930.

Re: Pre-war L. C. Smith
I've got a couple of old Remingtons to match your Smith & Corona. That's the trouble with attending some of those ranch & antique auctions in Montana. If you aren't careful you're liable to find one of those old typewriters in a "box-lot" of stuff. I've thought they might make dandy anchors for my drift boat. Actually, they'd make a nice lamp base if a guy was into that sort of thing. Yours looks to be in nice shape; mine sit out in the garage where I dumped them when I got home from the sale.

I learned "keyboarding" on a manual in HS....probably the must useful class I ever took. Typing opened lots of doors in the Army. Oh, the joy of correcting four carbon copies in a hot/humid Quonset Hut in Korea in July...

I'm just a sucker for old mechanical things that can be restored to operational condition, even if I have no need for them.Batman1939 wrote: ↑Sun Apr 02, 2017 11:26 am I've got a couple of old Remingtons to match your Smith & Corona.

Re: Pre-war L. C. Smith
I hear you Claybob; I'm kind of the same way but have enough trouble keeping my "necessary" mechanical stuff operable--e.g. my '74 Ford snowplow, several chainsaws, old Ford tractor, newer Toro yard tractor, etc. I still have several things I need to do to finish up the log home I built 30 years ago. To. quote Terry Murbach, "and so it goes".claybob86 wrote: ↑Mon Apr 03, 2017 12:47 amI'm just a sucker for old mechanical things that can be restored to operational condition, even if I have no need for them.Batman1939 wrote: ↑Sun Apr 02, 2017 11:26 am I've got a couple of old Remingtons to match your Smith & Corona.
