Impressive. The LC Smith is a great typewriter and evidently the very first one to roll off the assembly one was already Right.
In one of their ETCetera issues, Chuck and Rich document finding a Royal 10 with serial number 1! It was offered at an auction, without any indication of its special nature. Maybe LC Smith #1 #1 will also turn up like this someday.
hello! i have one l. c. smith no.1, couldn't find her serial, the only mark, in very big letters, under the machine, is 1-3X.
do you think it can be a prototype?
Hi Moroz. Sorry I haven't got back to you on this earlier. I'm going to have to dig out my Smith Premier to see where the serial number is. Will message you as soon as I do.
Hi Robert,
Did you ever figure out where the serial number is located? I'd like to find it on my No. 1 as well, but haven't been able to pin point it!
Thanks for a great blog post -- very informative.
Best,
Sophie
Hi Sophie (and Moroz, if you are still hunting). Thanks Sophie for your kind words. I posted a list of where to find serial numbers on old typewriters at http://oztypewriter.blogspot.com.au/2012/05/where-to-find-typewriter-serial-number.html
Thank you very much, Robert! This is very helpful!
Where would one bring a #1 #1 for appraisal?
Where are you?
Robert, I am located in west central wisconsin. I have an lc smith that I need appraised--it appears to have 1-1 serial #. Would like your advice
Forgive my casual grammar, I was in a hurry. Perhaps I could send you a photo of my typewriter for your opinion?
Not sure what you meant by appraisal. If you mean a valuation, sorry, I don't do that, for a whole range of reasons. I'd certainly have no idea what such a typewriter would be worth in the US.
I just thought you might be interested--I'm looking to discover if this is, indeed, the 1-1.
