1910 Smith Premier 10 typewriter #39345

Description

1910 Smith Premier No. 10, serial number 39345.  Very good condition overall.  The carriage return arm was broken when purchased and has recently been replaced.
The typewriter is about 13 3/4" wide, 15" deep, 9 1/2" tall and weighs about 29 pounds.  There's some minor scratches and broken paint on the body but overall if I was in this kind of shape at 111, I wouldn't complain.
The platen (roller) is easily removed: that's by design.  The idea was that if you had to dash off a quick telegram or other urgent piece of work, it would make it easier to continue working afterwards.  By being able to put the roller back in place at the same time as the paper and carbons, you wouldn't have to try to line everything up to match where they were prior to the interruption.  Additionally, the platen has to be removed in order to change the ribbon.
The sample in photo 6 doesn't demonstrate any alignment issues: it just shows that I'm not a very good typist.
Also included: an ad from Scribner's Magazine for the Smith Premier 10 and a reproduction of the instruction manual.

This item is Final Sale and sold "As-Is”.
There are no returns and no refunds.  If you have questions related to this auction, I will be glad to answer them.  I have made every effort to accurately represent this item.  However, I can not anticipate everyone's concerns and may have omitted the very details that you were looking for.  Therefore

Shipping and Payment Information
I will sell and ship this item only within the USA, Canada, or Mexico — no exceptions. I will ship only to the address of the winning bidder, not to a third party address. The address I ship to must be a real address, not a Post Office Box.
The item will be shipped insured. The handing charge includes estimated insurance, ample padding, and a heavy duty shipping carton.  If the actual shipping charge is less then I will refund the difference.  If there is loss, theft or damage during transit, I will provide the postage and insurance receipts and you will need to process the insurance claim, as I am not able to conduct insurance claims from this end.  Therefore, please examine the outside of the parcel and note any visible damage to the carton on the signature form when it is delivered, open the parcel with care, and retain all packing materials, as these will be evidence required by the insurance claims adjuster.
This item may also be sold as in-person pickup; I will provide the pickup address after receiving payment and the funds have cleared my bank.  I’m also willing to personally deliver it for free within a 75-mile radius of Boston, MA.  I will deliver only to the address of the winning bidder or to a mutually agreed upon location.
If you are the winning bidder and do not comply with these requirements, the sale is void, and the item will be re-listed.
Thank you for your interest!
