My dad gifted me his 1949 Smith Corona Silent that he used all throughout medical school and into his practice! Needless to say, I value it highly! **Please like, subscribe and comment!**

Dad’s typewriter is cool. Stylish medical student. Only the best for EJ’s son.

Indeed!

So stylish. I wonder if they offered the model in different color schemes for the keys and case liner.

That’s a good question. Judging from the photos in the website database, it appears that each series had a specific design aesthetic for the era. It leads me to wonder if the green key color was more a choice of perhaps a type of durable plastic as opposed to aesthetic design. The machine itself lends itself well to a design of sheer purpose.
