I think this is what SCM called Classic Pica?
It does look like Classic Pica #85. Are there no identifying marks on the slugs?
For example, these are the slugs in one of my Classic 12 models:

I've just learned something new. 660 is the foundry mark that ids the fontface?

Re: Recent Acquisitions Thread
It can vary from manufacturer to manufacturer, but in my example the 'AR' identifies the manufacturer of the typeface, and the '660' the actual typeface.

Re: Recent Acquisitions Thread
What is that at the top of each slug?
Smith Premier typewriters are cool!

Re: Recent Acquisitions Thread
Got this ca. 1923 Underwood 5 at a local estate sale. It didn't need too much work, but it cleaned up quite nicely! 
However, with this new addition, my workspace is starting to get a little... cramped.

Maybe cramped, but what a beautiful workspace!

Re: Recent Acquisitions Thread
I am very jealous right now... Both an Underwood 5 and an LC Smith 8, two typewriters that I have been searching for tirelessly... But what a great and beautiful find
A high schooler with a lot of typewriters. That's pretty much about it.
