Description:
2026-MAY-31, Original Gallery Creation. I did a quick search, out of curiosity, under "Rem-Blick" on eBay, both for current & closed auctions. There were two closed auctions, one for #KV80128, and one for this machine, #KD80141 (September 1928). This is the first "KD8xxxx" machine posted on TWDB. Someone got the machine apparently for an offer less than $145, which IMO is a pretty good deal for a scarce machine like the Rem-Blick; even though the Rem-Blick does not seem in particular demand from collectors. This specimen has the typical QWERTY layout. I checked Richard Polt's Rem-Blick list. He must have seen this one before, because this serial number, KD80141, is on his list.

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 Rem-Blick on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Remington Serial Number page and the Remington Rem-Blick By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
