At first glance, this typewriter looks like another common Smith-Corona Classic 12. At second glance, you may notice a few things that differ cosmetically. At third glance, you may see something you've never seen on a typewriter before. This typewriter types in a huge font. To see it yourself, I provided a comparison between this machine and a regular typewriter's type sample. Obviously, this machine's type sample is at the top. I've hardly ever even heard of such a font like this one. The spacing/escapement mechanism moves extremely fast in order to space out the huge characters properly on the paper. In addition, the machine only writes with a one color ribbon since the typebar has to hit the entire height of the ribbon. While typing, I found that the ribbon had the tendency to slip out of the ribbon vibrator, so I put some paste on the top of the vibrator to keep the ribbon in place. It works without issue, but I had to include it in the photos. This is an amazing typewriter, and would be great for any collector, or someone with a need for a large font.
