Took wife and another couple to dinner in Wash, DC tonight and walked into Miss Pixies second hand shop on 14th St. and came across this L C Smith & Corona typewriter. Never new L C Smith made them.

Absolutely, actually they were very common

They made bicycles too... or Hunter Arms made bicycles. And so did Remington and Lefever.

The much more lucrative typewriter market and his designer Alexander T. Brown's assertion he could make a better one, is the reason Lyman C. Smith dumped the gun business off on the Hunter Brothers and moved on to bigger and better things. Remington and Ithaca both made typewriters as well, but stuck to the gun business.

Underwood made a beautiful typewriter, and M1 carbines.

That may very well be Mr. Spencer but nothing beats a Corona.:whistle:

When someone asks about the spelling of my last name I assess their age.
If they are under 55 I say it's spelled like the beer. If I say it's spelled like the typewriter they say "HUH, what's that?" I must be getting old.

And yet, I always associated you with that little Toyota from years back. Those same millennials wouldn't get that one either.

Sheesh.... it's Corolla Edgar - but then I knew a Japanese guy who named his first son Roger. It always made me laugh that he gave his son a name he couldn't even pronounce.... he always referred to him as "Logah".
