Typewriter Talk / Smith Corona question...

**Posted by TypicalType** 09-12-2014 17:59:24

I'm looking to get a Smith Coroan 2200. Particurally because Kurt Vonnegut Jr. Used one. His is pictured below. My question is this: does one like his exist(blue keys and all) or do you think his may have been custom? I've had no luck so far searching for a matching maching.

Thanks,Hector

Yes, that model existed in that colour, in fact I'm sure I've seen one recently in a local ad. They were also available in many other colours, which might explain why it's not easy to find one.

These are slightly different models, but they serve as an example of the colour being a production, rather than custom one:
