I would like to get a Smith Premier one with a ribbon still inside. It would be even better if it was one of the tri-color ribbons.

Shipping standards can be done, but is nerve-wracking. Last year, I had an Underwood 3, a Smith Premier 3, and a Smith Premier 5 shipped to me. Thankfully, all arrived safely and intact. I would rather not have a standard shipped again if I could help it.

Three with elite. The rest is correct.
