LC Smith Corona 8 11 – Accounting Keys – Factory Rebuilt

The LC Smith 8 11 Factory Rebuilt typewriter has 5 rows on the keyboard.  The standard key QWERTY Keyboard plus the additional top row for accounting purposes.

The # 8s were built prior to L.C. Smith’s merger with Corona, both bear the L.C. Smith & Corona Typewriter Co. name. This is because they were rebuilt after the merger and given new decals bearing the new company name.

This one has seen better days. It’s rusted, not working well, needs a lot of work to get back into a usable, showable condition.
The merchant is charging a price that might be worth its weight in metals.

Like most L.C. Smiths, they generally have very little value. That’s because there were over a million produced.

The No. 8 were extremely well built typewriters for daily use. This one has the additional top row of numbers used for setting accounting on general ledgers.
