1913 Remington 10 Serial # 378950 1913 Remington 10 typewriter, Serial # 378950 Cole Ehmke's 1913 Remington 10 typewriter. 2024-08-18 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Cole Ehmke: 1913 Remington 10 Serial # 378950 Excellent condition for 111 years old (as of 2024)! It is clean -- after much patient work -- and completely functional. This one came from the Warner cattle ranch in SW Kansas and had a thick layer of tar from cigarette smoke on it as well as lots of dust from storage. It is now clean, polished and ready to rock again, right down to a new ribbon. The first successful typewriters were made by firearm maker Remington, and you can see that they knew how to work with steel. This typewriter is quite handsome and has a lot of history.
