Here I have a Smith-Corona Skyriter from 1954.

It’s not the sexiest typewriter from that era, but it functions well.  I have another that needs some draw band repair, happily this one is fully functional.

I’ll probably get around to replacing the ribbon when I organize my first type-in later this year.  Folks in Erie deserve to experience the wonder of typewriters too, they just may not know it yet.  ~TH~
