This Smith-Corona Profile is a well-designed mid-century portable typewriter with a smooth, responsive typing action and a restrained, utilitarian aesthetic. It has been tested for basic functionality and types evenly across the page.
The current ribbon is dry, which is typical for a machine of this age; a replacement ribbon is recommended and easily obtained. Keys strike evenly, the carriage advances smoothly, and the paper feeds as expected.
Shown with typing samples and detail images to document condition and function. Offered as-is, as found and tested.
A solid choice for writing, display, or thoughtful everyday use by someone drawn to mechanical tools with clarity of purpose.
