For sale is an incredible new old stock (NOS) / unused Smith-Corona Galaxie II portable manual typewriter in the classic two-tone blue-gray color scheme. This is a true time capsule from the 1960s—never typed on, never inked, ribbon still in factory position (if applicable), keys glossy and pristine, platen perfect, no wear, dust, or patina anywhere. It comes in its original silver hardshell carrying case with the iconic SCM “Made with Skill, Packed with Care” sticker intact, original green instruction sheet (“Galaxie WORLD” with atom logo), and even protective bubble wrap from long-term storage.
The Galaxie II is one of the most beloved and reliable mid-century American portables: smooth segment-shift action, crisp pica typeface, quick-set margins, tab stops, page gage, touch selector for typing feel, and that satisfying mechanical clack. Made in the USA by SCM (Smith-Corona Marchant), it’s lightweight (~12-15 lbs), durable steel-built, and perfect for writers, collectors, decorators, or anyone wanting authentic vintage typing without the usual age-related issues.
Condition: Factory fresh / unused—looks and feels brand new from the 1960s. No scratches, no rust, no sticky keys, fully functional (ready to type with a fresh ribbon—inexpensive and easy to install if desired). Stored dry and cool its entire life.
Ideal for:
• Typewriter collectors seeking rare NOS examples
• Retro office/home decor
• Writers who love analog typing (no batteries, no electricity needed!)
• Gifts for creatives or nostalgia fans
Serial number [insert if visible, e.g., starts with 6T or similar for ~1960s dating] confirms era. Photos show exact item—zoom in for details.
