1925 Remington Portable No. 2
Antique Shop $60
Mostly Working Condition. I love this machine, another older model that was a marvel to behold how they fit so many features into such a small machine. I almost broke it by accident not understanding how you got the keys to riase so they could strike the page. I also had to replace the feet using a unique plumbing washer as the original feet had discintegrated. The only issue with this machine specifically is that I'm having trouble making the ribbon rotate properly while typing.

Though I have had a love for typewriters since I was a kid (in the 90's) I didn't start collecting in earnest until 2020 (having had 3 typewriters still in my posession and several long gone). Since then, I have become an avid collector, focusing primarily on fully functional manual typewriters. After collecting more than 30, I determined that my favorite Brand overall is Smith Corona and I attempt to hone my collection in that direction. Here's the preservation of one of the best storytellers we've ever known!!
