Add a touch of vintage sophistication to your creative workspace with this stunning 1920s/1930s Corona Four portable typewriter.
Manufactured by L.C. Smith & Corona Typewriters Inc., this iconic model features a highly collectible, original factory blue finish and comes complete with its original hardshell carrying case.
Unlike many antique typewriters that serve strictly as display pieces, this machine's mechanical bones are fully functional. The keys strike cleanly, the carriage advances smoothly, and the bell still rings. It just needs a quick ribbon adjustment to start printing ink to paper!
Product Details: Brand: L.C. Smith & Corona Typewriters Inc. Model: Corona Four (4) Portable Era: Circa late 1920s – early 1930s Color: Deep Textured Blue (Original Finish) Keyboard: Standard QWERTY layout with classic glass-top keys Includes: Original protective carrying case
Condition Report Mechanical Condition: Fully working! All keys strike freely and snap back quickly. The carriage moves smoothly across the tracks, and all foundational mechanical components are in great health.
Ribbon Note: The typewriter functions perfectly from a mechanical standpoint, but the ribbon currently needs to be properly refitted / re-spooled onto the wheels before you can type crisp words. It uses standard, inexpensive 1/2-inch typewriter ribbons which are widely available online if you decide to swap it out for a fresh color!
Cosmetic Condition: Gorgeous vintage aesthetic. The original blue paint shows an authentic, beautifully aged patina with minor wear consistent with its age with rustic. The gold branding and text are still bright and easily readable.
The Case: Includes its original protective carrying case. The case shows normal exterior wear from decades of storage/travel but remains structurally sound, secure, and excellent for safely moving or storing the machine.
