1941 - The Last Civilian Sterling: Smith Corona Sterling Typewriter Review - This is the Army 

note: I believe that manual tab Smith-Coronas originally came with 6 tab stops, at least the most preserved ones I've seen always have 6. (:

always great, keep going !

Hello. I have a 1941 Corona Sterling in Burgundy, serial number 3A 94669 purchased December 3, 2022. It is great. Typed out a lot of Christmas messages to include in Christmas cards. As I type, I notice the keys start to miss the ribbon, so I have to keep adjusting the ribbon to type properly. Only issue so far.
