Description:
“Light and Dark Orchid”--striking color. I passed on this two years ago because of the high price; today I visited the store’s closing yard sale and bought it.
It has some serious problems, which I think I can fix. We’ll see. Type samples when I succeed.

While I find all of mankind's inventions interesting, I am most enchanted by the human-scale arts and devices, the ones that can be created (and repaired) in a home workshop or studio; the ones that can be understood by looking at them; the ones that do something useful or stir admiration. Typewriters work for me.
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.
