Description:
The Remington Portable Model 2 has a high-gloss body, yellow-hued keys, and folding typebars that "levitate" to a 45-degree angle. An enchanting antique typewriter. This ebay score is in great cosmetic and mechanical condition; a joy to type on. Despite directions from the experts (read: Polt, et al), I still have not located the serial number.
Moved on to Urban Legend Institute.

In a parallel universe, I was once the Senior Vice-President of Design (Typewriter Division) at Ing. C. Olivetti & C.,S.p.A., Ivrea, Italy. In the real universe, I'm a Chicago-based casual collector and hunter of Olivetti typewriters, and related ephemera, publications, and film sightings.
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.
