Made in England (1960s)

Excellent condition, cleaned and functional with new ribbon. Finished in custom stone grey with yellow accents. The Empire Corona is a compact manual typewriter made at the British Typewriters Ltd factory in West Bromwich, England, during the 1960s. It represents a transitional model: when Smith-Corona acquired the factory in 1960, they produced this model using the same basic architecture as their Skyriter. Sporting a lightweight metal body and a clean, minimal design, the Empire Corona was aimed at budget-conscious users who needed a dependable travel or home machine. Typical variants use a single-colour ribbon and feature a modest, no-frills keyboard setup. While not built for high-volume office use, the Corona offers solid mechanics for daily correspondence, note-taking or creative writing. Its compact size and straightforward design have made it a favourite among vintage typists and collectors looking for an affordable, user-friendly machine with a bit of British-Smith-Corona history. Whether you're writing letters, working on creative projects, or looking for a unique gift, the Empire Corona delivers both form and function.
