Description:
This is maybe the most beautiful machines I have. For a 12, it is in great condition. I love the right-hand side return lever - which this machine inherits from the Remington 2 from 1878!
I love the tab system, which allows you to jump directly to a tab position. This was a pretty good system, which the Remington 10 had already.
I did not attempt removing the carriage on this machine. But I removed all panels and cleaned inside as well as I could.
I wouldn't mind finding some of the missing tab stops - only 2 are left out of the 5 original ones.

I started collecting my first pre-WW2 standard typewriters in 2017. Since then I have added a few machines to my collection, which now ranges from the 1890s to the 1980s. As of 2020, I have more big standard (desktop) typewriters than portables, and a few standard electrics.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Remington 12 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Remington Serial Number page and the Remington 12 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
