Description:
This one I acquired from an Estate sale. The knob for raising the strikers is missing, the ribbon is dry, and it had a bent linkage for the "Z" key. While the linkage is fixed, it does occasionally stick. This was the first machine in my collection!
Without a ribbon, I can't include a typeface specimen. Eventually I will rectify that.

I recently acquired my third classic Remington Typewriter (In three years) and I am the deFacto curator of Typewriters, cameras and other small gadgets at The Upper Penninsula Steam & Gas Engine Assn. (UPSGEA) Museum in Escanaba, MI. I have a diffficult time locating serial numbers on the oddballs, so if you can help, please do!
The Museum has an 1894 L.C. Smith, Oliver, Underwood, and Elliot Fischer models, Which I hope to have in my album, soon!
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.
