Here is a lovely Sterling by Smith Corona made in Canada in the 1950's.
Serial number 5A416883
It is in used condition. It is fully functioning and is nice and smooth. Cosmetically it has a couple issues of paint wear on the front left(pic 9) and on the back bottom(pic 8). Otherwise the crinkle paint finish with the green accents looks great and the keys are clean and clear.
It is 13" x 13" x 5" and comes with it's original carrying case.

In late 1949, a radical product line redesign was revealed, internally called the Super-5. The body is beefier, with the tab sets enclosed and protected from dust, and the familiar circular bakelite keys replaced with "teardrop" shaped resin keys that fit the user's fingers better. A "Page-Gage" was also introduced. This was a marked drum fitted to the end of the platen cylinder that told the user how many inches remained until the bottom of the page. Handy!
Previously available only on the Silent and Standard models, the Sterling now gets a paper-bail, too.
