Description:
Just an incredibly well-preserved Remington 5, from the Clark Family Collection, acquired in December of 2023. Even in outstanding shape, I was able to replace the busted shift key, install a new wide-gauge ribbon from DeBarth's old stash, and spent about six hours polishing it up with Flitz until it shines like new. And it types better than most any upstrike machine I've ever owned, which is saying something.

RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Remington 5 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Remington Serial Number page and the Remington 5 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
