Description:
This little guy was going for parts on eBay. The platen was rusted so that the carriage lock did not work, it had cosmetic damage (missing paint under keys and on paper rest), and a broken drawband. I cleaned it and fixed the drawband. De-rusting the platen was surprisingly easy. I gave it a new ribbon and feet. It is a good little typer. Notice it does not have a shift lever on the right. No one should go for scrap while there is a chance for a new life!

I lucked into a 1938 Remington Rand 5 at a thrift store a while back and the rest is history! Typewriter fever has led me to the Typosphere, where I am working to further my knowledge of these fabulous machines. (My husband calls it "Typewriter Porn".) Remingtons are still my brand of choice!
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Remington Portable on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Remington Serial Number page and the Remington Portable By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
