Description:
I purchased this from ShopGoodwill.com for a winning bid of $26 + S/H/T totaling $44. Overall good cosmetic and mechanical condition. However the right platen knob was shattered during shipping, the paper table was in pretty rough shape and the platen is hard as a rock. I repaired the platen knob and have done some initial cleaning and polishing, but for this to be a good typing machine all the rubber needs to be replaced. Even still, it's a beautiful typewriter.

I'm over 60 now, but bought my first typewriter (a 1920's Underwood) when I was a teenager for $5.00. Unfortunately, I sold it 15 years later for $5.00 because I thought it was a useless, outdated boat anchor. Fast forward 35 years and I bought a Smith Corona Tabulator at a garage sale for $5.00 to show my grandchildren what a manual typewriter is and how it works. A couple years later, I bought an Oliver No. 9 at an antique store for $54 because of its interesting design. Within a month, I had spent over $1,000 and bought 16 more typewriters from a 1905 Remington No. 6 upstrike to an electric Olivetti Praxis 48.
I'm pretty handy, so my plan is to clean and repair them. I'll keep some for my private collection and sell others to support my new typewriter addiction.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Remington 10 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Remington Serial Number page and the Remington 10 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
