Description:
This Fox Portable No. 1 was manufactured in Grand Rapids, Michigan in 1918. These folding portable typewriters set off a flurry of patent infringement litigation with the market-dominant Corona Typewriter Company, and the Fox Typewriter Company was forced to shutter in the early 1920s.

RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Fox Portable 1 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Fox Serial Number page and the Fox Portable 1 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
