Description:
Early, low serial numbered No.7 (serial 8038) that after about 40 hours of work is up and functional! Considering they only made 7,000 in the previous year (1896 Remington started manufacture of the No.7) I'm figuring this to be made in Jan/Feb of 1897. Update 8/8/2023 -sold this typewriter to a local typewriter collector.

After finding a Smith-Corona Coronet 12 at a curb-side (in Winter while walking the dog) I carried it home; after it thawed out and started coming back to life I was hooked. My interest in this hobby lead to taking two parts typewriters to create one good unit. This typewriter aliment is (pretty much) in-curable!
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Remington 7 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Remington Serial Number page and the Remington 7 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
