1908 Victor 1 Serial # 2521 1908 Victor 1 typewriter, Serial # 2521 Mark Schrad's 1908 Victor 1 typewriter. 2023-09-04 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Mark Schrad: 1908 Victor 1 Serial # 2521 This rare Victor 1 came from the Bob Aubert collection of Delran, NJ (August, 2023). Bob kept it in a tote, along with all of the pieces of the carriage, which is completely disassembled and will need to be rebuilt. Thankfully, it also came with a Victor 3, so that I'll have a template for repairing this machine. Fascinating to have a front-strike machine built on a Remington frame and Remington wooden key levers!
