Description: 1958 Tower President with case for sale. The Tower President, produced only for 1957 and 1958, was a rebadged Smith Corona Silent Super (sold for Sears & Roebuck). It has all of the features of a Silent-Super, but with a different (and unique) color combination on it's shell. The typewriter is in typing/working condition, though will need a new ribbon. Have not tested it extensively and don't know much about typewriters. Cosmetically, there are a couple of minor nicks/scratches on the typewriter and the case, as well as some dirt buildup on the keys. See photos for more details/zoom in. Personally, I didn't find any of them excessive (and fully expected a couple of them on a 60+ year old machine). But for a potential buyer's information, please check the photos out for more detail. At the moment, I am unaware of any potential issues with the machine (mechanically speaking). I did not have the opportunity to deep clean it, so it will need it in order to be in factory working condition. Adjustments may need to be made, and other work could be possible. It also might be the desire of the new owner to change out the ribbon. If you're in the market for an elite typeface machine that has all of the wonderful features of a Silent-Super, but with an uncommon body shell/brand, the Tower President might be just what you are looking for.
