The Smith-Corona Silent-Super is a typewriter made by Smith-Corona. It was an extremely successful product and has many variations.
History and Design
After the Second World War, the wealth of the 1950s brought a new consumer culture to the United States. Now a global superpower, Americans wanted nicer consumer products, and Smith-Corona launched a new line -- colloquially referred to as the "5-series" -- to succeed its prewar portable typewriters. These new machines were robust, rich with functions, well-built, and consumer goods -- in fun colors.
