Description:
A very clean example of the Remington Model 1 "Noisy Noiseless" Portable. I believe it was previously owned by pioneer Laveen, AZ dairyman Armon D "Dee" Cheatham who probably owned it from 1937 until unloading the typewriter at a yard sale in the late 1990's to a much younger version of me.
See links for information about "Dee" Cheatham.

I am a scoundrel without a cause, and my swank outshines the sun.
I am a casual Typewriter Hunter residing in the sweltering deserts of Arizona with a wife, three cats and about 50 typewriters. My main hunting ground is thrift stores, and I rarely pay more than $10 for a machine. My collection consists mainly of portables with cases, and they stay in the cases unless I am actively using it (usually more than one at a time). I do, however keep a handful of interesting Selectrics, including a Composer and a couple of large Nakajima Electronics to use as daisywheel printers for my vintage laptop collection.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Remington Model 1 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Remington Serial Number page and the Remington Model 1 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
