Description:
2026-JUL-05 Gallery Creation. A new listing on eBay for a 1st-generation Remington portable, #NA25548 (Dec 1922). I decided to post a gallery because the listing photos are nice, and they include a clear image of the serial number, and a clear image of the typebars showing they are clean of any foundry marks. Foundry marks on Remington portables (at least for pica typeface) were transitioned in mid-1923 or later, apparently. The seller is "WeGotsTheGoods" based in Surprise, AZ. Asking price is $119.99 "Buy It Now" (no "Make An Offer" option).

My interest in typewriters started in 1997, when I was in graduate school at the University of Georgia. I purchased and read Darryl Rehr's book, joined ETC, and started reaching out to known collectors. I had several email interchanges with Richard Polt dating from that period. I also bought some of my first machines from Bob Aubert, and visited him at his home twice. After marriage and relocation to New England, I continued visiting antique shops and eBay, until other priorities put my typewriter hobby on hiatus around 2008.
In late 2024, I started up again, working on my machines and having some of them serviced professionally by New England Typewriter (NET) LLC (Merrimack, NH), until they closed their doors in December of 2025. Since mid-2025, I have been adding to my collection again, first with a Hermes 3000 purchase from NET, then with various auctions and purchases on eBay, when I find something that catches my eye.
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.
