The 1931 Gorham Silver Smith Corona

[@turnerstephenson8313]

Wow, that's so beautiful.

Is it for sale

[@TypewriterChicago]

It is not

[@beek]

@@TypewriterChicago oh boy, I would pay top dollar for that. There were only 184 of them made and most have been melted down. They were going to make them from gold but then the stock market crashed.

Probably the first typewriter I've ever seen that has hallmarks on it. And the first I've seen featuring those rollers supporting the paper from the front.

[@TypewriterChicago]

They're called paper fingers! A lot of older machines had them, very common on smith coronas.

Wonderful!

[@thethomasraymond]

Wow what a beauty. Also wondering if maybe you got that fluid head, as those tilts and pans are silky smooth!

Another wonderfully shot and edited video, with Debussy's Clair de lune. The Easter Egg at the end is to discover it's not you typing, ha ha! Is that Mr. DB? Daniel

[@TypewriterChicago]

@@AtelierDBurgoyne it is indeed, but he just typed for the last three cuts. It's still me typing in all the others :)

[@AtelierDBurgoyne]

@@TypewriterChicago Glad to know you were typing most of it! Thanks. ❤

[@miahoover9225]

Wow! It was made around the Great Depression.

[@tmunk]

Got enough tab stops on that Gorham?

[@TypewriterChicago]

@tmunk right? Twelve of them, ridiculous. If I had extra I'd have thrown them on just becuase hahaha.

[@AtelierDBurgoyne]

​@@TypewriterChicagoI said to myself that the owner wanted one stop every 5 spaces :)

[@penrith50]

Gorgeous! What does it weigh?

[@TypewriterChicago]

@@penrith50 not exactly sure

[@claywebster7401]
