Sears Electric Twelve (5TE variant) typewriter at work
Made by Smith-Corona and sold by Sears-Roebuck from 1964 to 1966, this model wraps unique bodywork around the mechanism of a famous and pioneering typewriter, the Smith-Corona 5TE. SCM had moved on to selling its 6-Series electrics, the Coronet and Electra, but continued manufacturing 5TE variants into the late 1960s. This is a handsome example of the breed.
