Military Smith Corona Standard Typewriter with Mill Key

We have run out of stock for this item.

Military Smith Corona Standard with the extremely rare "Mill" Key, the O with a Slash on it. 

Mil Key was used for Telegraphs and specifically to copy Radio Messages. 

Only our second ever and from experience, these Special typewriters are rare to find in ok condition when this one is in nearly not used condition with extremely clean guts and minimum usage signs. 

Serial is  3C 311XXX from 1943

The Typewriter types in Large Capitals only, even on upper case. as this was the way to copy the Radio Message. 

When checking the test page, please take a look at the Letter "C" as it has a special curve on its top and that is surely not common at all as even my first Military typewriter did not have it. 

Will be researching the exact name of the typeface to clarify.
