The pre-war, early post-war floating shift Silent Smith Corona portables were second only to the Royal Quiet DeLuxe. In fact they were just as fast and like the Royal of that era they were basket shifts. This was where it all started for the Smith Corona company, who in short order became the largest manufacturer of portable typewriters in the United States up to the end of American made typewriters.

I show this mint Silent with four Polish keys. (Please, no jokes...) Also in stock is the Sterling Corona in standard format. All with cases and book in mint condition.
