1960s/70s Vintage Smith-Corona Corsair Blue Typewriter
This is an absolutely fantastic vintage typewriter from the late 60s/early 70s. Made by Smith-Corona (SCM Corporation) and comes with it's case and instruction booklet as well as the original outer box. The retro blue colour is super cool and looks great in a mid century or modern home. I have had a great time testing the mechanisms and it types very well. The original ink ribbon is still intact and this has both red and black options. Currently the red is working very well but the black is more feint. However, ink ribbons can be purchased new to fit this model. Overall dimensions of the actual typewriter in it's case is 12" x 11.5" x 4". This is in very good vintage condition.
All in very good condition - a stunning and collectable piece of history.

At My Vintage, we take time to carefully measure each item of vintage clothing so that you have the best chance of ensuring a good fit whenever you buy from us. We measure the clothing laid flat as the diagrams show below and for bust, chest, waist and hips we double the measurement. For example, if the waist measures 17" across when laid flat then this would equate to a 34" waist (17 x 2 = 34)
We use the measurements we collate to assign each item of vintage clothing with an approximate modern-day size. For example, a dress with a 34" bust, 28" waist and 34" hips would normally equate to a current UK size 10. The labels on vintage clothing can vary massively depending on country of origin and date of manufacture. Clothing sizes have changed over the years and from decade to decade we see alternative types of sizing as well as variations on the way measurements equate to dress sizes.
We always recommend that you double-check the measurements of the vintage clothing item you are interested in, ideally by measuring an item of clothing you already own and that fits well, and comparing these measurements. There can be variations due to the desired fit, shape and fabric of an item but our size guidelines are normally very accurate and take the stress out of buying vintage online.
