Description:
Spotted at the museum in Edole medieval castle (Schloß Edwahlen) which was built in XIV century. As I was told this German keyboard Remington Mod. 11 was brought from Germany during WWI by someone from entourage of Prince Joachim of Prussia - the youngest son of German Emperor Wilhelm II, who stayed there during WWI. Well, it might be a little hard to believe, that they used American typewriters at that time instead of German ones. But, who knows...
It is in working condition, but I wasn't allowed to test it.
An excellent historical testimony, I presume... if it is genuine.

TYPEWRITERS...
Doesn't they look sexy to you? Such a number of different shapes, forms and colors.... All those complicated and not so complicated mechanisms, levers and arms, gears and sprockets... how they became alive and start dancing at your fingertip punches...
It started on December 2015 when I bought my second typewriter... Beaten, damaged, dusty... I took it apart, cleaned, repaired. Since then it became as an obsession... Now there are more than dozen.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Remington 11 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Remington Serial Number page and the Remington 11 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
