After looking further I cleaned off the area mentioned in above posts and sure enough there was the SN plate with an easy to read number--in my case SN 349322-8 which makes it manufactured in 1918--98-years ago. I just updated my galleries on The Typewriter Database under TomA2Mich which has some photos I took of the location for the SN.<br /><br />Tom Beauvais, Ann Arbor, MichiganAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248447883714712696.post-86191001190714946642015-03-23T05:42:26.559+11:002015-03-23T05:42:26.559+11:00On my L C Smith 8 -10 In, the serial # is behind t...On my L C Smith 8 -10 In, the serial # is behind the back spacer key, inside on the horizontal frame at the right front, as Richard says. <br />I got mine in a dirty dingy sad condition - and only because it was $35.00, and I was new to collecting, and wanted everything!<br />It cleaned up beautifully, and slowly revealed it's superior quality and workmanship, of what was otherwise a rather bland and uninteresting looking machine. <br />With it's ball bearing typebars (imagine what they must have cost) it is like the Woodstocks, a smart and snappy typer!! There's so little resistance, that the thing almost types itself.<br />Thanks for the reminder about how great and underated these fine machines are - they are every day typersDon Lamperthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10033476212606822358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248447883714712696.post-15217314341737678922015-03-23T02:13:40.817+11:002015-03-23T02:13:40.817+11:00What a fine typewriter — and a fine job of thoroug...What a fine typewriter — and a fine job of thorough reporting, of course.<br /><br />Yes, I feel sure this machine was rebuilt and repainted.<br /><br />Try looking for the serial number behind the backspacer, just inside the frame.

You nee...Sure is a wonderful looking typewriter. <br /><br />You need a mystery also, as I have been trying to dig up more information on my Hammond Multiplex as well as my latest <br />Underwood.<br /><br />You do a much better job at finding historical information than I could ever dream of doing myself. Great work.Bill Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14649212489891769390noreply@blogger.com
