$15 Thrift Shop Find

Every once in a while, a good deal is still possible to find.  This was in my local thrift shop today for $15:

1946 Smith-Corona Silent.  Perfect mechanical condition, just a slight moldy smell from the otherwise pristine case.

Well done! I thought I had a similar find last year, but the seller cranked up the price at the last minute.  I was annoyed but bought it anyway since I had not seen it in that model and typeface locally.


Smith Premier typewriters are cool!

Jacking up the price after someone shows interest isn't cool.  Anyway, this one is in plain old pica.  Still, it was a nice treat.

Bargains - or normal prices as I like to call them - are still out there. I really like the Smith-Coronas from that era; they represent a nice balance of vintage aesthetics and useable performance. Great find!
