Tough call, but:
1931 Smith-Corona portable
1948 Smith-Corona Silent
1950 Princess (gotta have a sub-portable)
1952 Smith-Corona Silent
1965 Olympia SM9 De Luxe

My most recent acquisition looks a lot like a couple from the previous page here: it's a '65 Olympia SM-9 De Luxe in really nice shape, with an 11 CPI Senatorial font. Everything functions perfectly; it is, of course, a very smooth machine. The case is a little dirty on the outside but everything inside is fine.

Hello! I learned to type on my mom's mid-1960s Hermes 3000 when I was a kid, switched to home computers in the '80s, and got back into manual typewriters a year or so back. I mostly own Smith-Coronas but also a few others including an early Princess, an Olympia SM9, and a couple of Royal QDL's. I have a dream of writing a novel on a typewriter but we'll have to see about that.
