By the late 1970s and early 1980s, many typewriter manufacturers had shifted toward increasingly lightweight and cheaply made machines in an effort to compete with the growing rise of electronics. While more modern in styling, the DeVille Deluxe was intentionally designed to preserve the familiar typing experience people expected from a classic Smith-Corona rather than becoming a disposable office appliance.

It is labeled the Aristocrat. From research on this typewriter I found out it is from 1970 with serial number AT5 8 83210. It is blue and beige. It functions properly but will likely need a fresh ribbon and could use a good internal cleaning.

This one carries the RB-3387094 serial, placing production in late 1956 to very early 1957. There's a softness to the colorway that the Quiet De Luxe's bolder palette doesn't reach for — an Aristocrat in this trim looks like it belongs in a house rather than a showroom.
