This lovely manual typewriter I dub “Flower Child” for its hippie vibe and late-’60s design. But it’s square enough to be a really great typer, too.
This “Classic 12” model Smith-Corona (SCM) mechanical typewriter was manufactured in 1968. It was recently cleaned and serviced fully by a professional technician. I have used it myself very happily and reliably for a range of uses, from routine letter writing and daily journaling to specialized typewriter-art projects.
I am offering it for sale at $250 (with local/handoff delivery; shipping would need discussion). SOLD
