Order this typewriter today, and we will send you a Smith Corona Four in about 2 weeks. I will not be the exact model shown (and there may be very slight variations), but it will be a beautifully serviced and inspiring writing machine in similar or BETTER condition than the one shown.

The infamous Corona Four was one of the most popular typewriters of its era. It is also one of the most well designed.

There is magic in these early machines. While they exist before the time of ball bearing carriages, they type remarkably well (and remarkably fast). Their styles are vintage yet timeless, lending a beautiful aura to any desk or shelf (though please don’t park it there forever).

These come with ribbon spool covers that have been lost on many of the offerings.

There are some slight variations through versions. Some have slightly different decals and branding on front and rear. They are all gloss, though some have textured panels on front, sides, and rear, either in gold or black.

Typeface is usually a 12 cpi elite. A beautiful, vintage typeface. While the platen and feet are often hard, they’ve been resurfaced (the hardest layer removed).

These are low profile machines, remarkably so for the era. They also already boast a 2 tone ribbon selector (black or red). Depending on the year, it is either next to the keyboard or up by the ribbon vibrator.

I find these machines to be beautiful and resilient writing machines, and due to their popularity, they can be find in excellent condition. They rarely work as is, and each one will pass our rigorous 14 point mechanical inspection.

The cases are high quality, with custom latches.

These are relatively loud clackers, though we replace the rubber bumper at the bottom of the keystroke, which reduces the sound by about 60%. And the feet, if needed.
