L.C. Smith & Corona Typewriter | Antique, Restored and Functional

The L.C. Smith & Corona is a historic typewriter that embodies the strength, functionality, and industrial design of the early 20th century. Manufactured in 1928, this unit emerged after the merger between L.C. Smith & Bros. and Corona Typewriters, giving birth to the legendary Smith & Corona Typewriters Inc.

With a robust black metal structure, this typewriter displays part of its mechanism through the sides and rear, giving it an authentic and imposing mechanical look. The classic round keyboard — white keys with black letters and metallic rims — retains both its beauty and full functionality.

This unit has been rescued, restored, and equipped with a new ink ribbon, ready for a new life. Despite having been exposed to the elements, it has regained its full splendor through a meticulous restoration process. Today, it stands as both a functional collector’s piece and a decorative object full of character.
