AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Antique L.C. Smith & Bros. Typewriter. The L.C. Smith & Bros. Typewriter Company was founded in 1903 in New York, USA, and merged with Corona Typewriter Company in 1926 to form LC Smith & Corona Typewriters Inc.

These machines are known for their 'visible writing' design, which allows the typist to see the text as it is written.

The specific model in the image appears to be from before the 1926 merger, possibly a Model 8 that was a best-seller in its time.

They are made of black enameled cast iron and are quite heavy, with an approximate weight of 15 kg for the office models.

It shows signs of age not visible in photographs, such as dirt and stains.

It is unknown if it works 100%. Overall, based on my testing, it functions correctly, although I am unsure if it requires any maintenance to ensure it operates at 100%.
