1933 Remington 16 Serial # Z428168 1933 Remington 16 typewriter, Serial # Z428168 Richard Polt's 1933 Remington 16 typewriter. 2018-05-12 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Richard Polt: 1933 Remington 16 Serial # Z428168 This machine is essentially the same as the Remington 10, the company's first frontstroke typewriter, introduced in 1908—but this Sixteen was made in September, 1933. The model stayed in regular production until 1939, with a trickle continuing all the way into 1942 and the outbreak of the Second World War. By that time, this typewriter was truly an old-fashioned machine, which had been technically superseded in January 1939 by the all-new Model Seventeen. The 17 was the basis of the KMC and all the later standard manual Remingtons.
