I bought this typewriter last year. It was missing the ribbon cover at the time, but I found a matching substitute.

Smith-Corona Deville II
One of many Smith-Corona Corsair variants. I bought this typewriter in Bremerton last week. The padded carriage-return lever is a nice touch. While the Deville name was reserved for Classic 12 variants sold at Kmart stores, the Deville II seems to have been sold primarily by jewelry stores.

July 1969 Signature 511D
This typewriter is my latest acquisition--it is easily the best Montgomery Ward typewriter ever--it is even good by Brother's standards.

1958/1959 Royal Quiet Deluxe
This typewriter was manufactured in 1958 for the 1959 model year. Mechanically, it is very similar to the Futura, with the ribbon controls located under the ribbon cover. The Royal logo acts as the ribbon cover release.
