The exterior has minor wear consistent with age but looks clean and attractive overall. Keys are intact with clear legends. It types beautifully with a fresh ribbon (one is installed and working – I can include extras if desired).

Vintage 1950's portable Smith-Corona Super Silent Manual Typewriter w/ Case 5T561513X. Keeps move pretty freely and all the knobs and levers work. Ribbon needs to be replaced. There is no key for the lock on the case. Case is not in the greatest shape. It has dings and marks and is kind of wonky to close, but it does close and stay latched.

This was my Grandfathers typewriter. The keys work, but I have no idea where you could get a ribbon to make it work properly. It had set as a display piece for decades. I have the cover for the case, but it isn’t in very good condition.

From research on this typewriter I found out it is from 1935 with serial number U-468558. It is black with glass keys. It functions properly but will likely need a fresh ribbon and could use a good internal cleaning.

Tested and working Smith Corona SL480 Electric printer with replacement ink strip and original cover. Some small patches of tape adhesive on the back side near the power cord, but it’s nothing that can’t be cleaned.
