Good looking typewriter and typeface, I'd say.
ReplyDeleteI've got the same unit , but in "Citation" guise. It does have nice lines, and yours looks better in the midnight blue, and red! Wow, look at the 3/4 shot - what a luscious slope it has! I never noticed that look on my all beige one. Once again, great photography.
ReplyDeleteThe Sears versions of Smith-Coronas often are better-looking—if they actually used a nice color. Why people were ever satisfied with putting boring beiges and greys when other colors would have flattered the designs much more, I'll never understand.
DeleteI have the same on a Sears "Cutlass" in red with racing stripes. I do like the styling on those Sears jobs from that time.
ReplyDeleteAnd now, I own this typewriter. Just by coincidence, upon googling “Sears Typewriter Futura,” I came across this blog. Sure enough, the SN is a match! It is on my desk for troubleshooting.
