And whoever had put them upįor auction would have known damn well they didn’t work. However, I found that NONE of them worked. At first glance they all looked to be inįairly good shape, and I was thrilled to receive them.

I like the way it types, the print is very sharp and clear. It's in pretty good condition, I just had to clean the mechanism and the character slugs. It just says Smith-Corona in simple lettering, and Clipper on the back. The body style seems to be the same, but it's a different color and doesn't have the logo on the front. The one I just bought recently is a Smith-Corona Clipper, but it's a little bit different from yours. But now they often sell for $100 or more! I've been lucky and have been able to buy a few at good prices. I remember several years ago, they were everywhere at antique shops and thrift stores and you could get them for very cheap. And they are selling at very high prices. Great review! I've always been fascinated with antique electrical and mechanical things, and recently I've started collecting old typewriters! There must be some kind of a sudden renewed interest in stuff like this, because it's getting really hard to find antique typewriters now, especially the manual mechanical kind.
