LC Smith & Corona Model No. 8 - Typewriter - 1920-1930

This is an antique LC Smith & Corona No. 8 typewriter, a classic example of American office engineering from the first half of the 20th century.

History and Model
The No. 8 model was originally introduced by L.C. Smith & Bros. before the merger with Corona in 1926. The inscription "LC Smith & Corona Typewriters Inc" on the frame indicates that this particular specimen was produced after that merger, probably between the late 1920s and the early 1930s.

The machine is functional although it has some faults in the carriage return. And the decimal tabulator keys (1-10-100-1000) need to be serviced. Otherwise everything works.

As you can see from the photos it does not have rubber feet.
