Description:
I believe this is a 3 but would like confirmation, so any insight would be helpful. This is one of the machines that were thick on the ground for $5-10 at Goodwill when I started collecting in the 90s. It's a little sticky, but it works and is beautiful and all parts are accounted for. It has my favorite case, angular and slim.

I started collecting typewriters in 1996 when my employer at an old newsstand in Kalamazoo, MI gave me her mother's Underwood Elliot Fisher Noiseless; I love these machines and learning how to repair and maintain them. The Noiseless was the medium for a zine I wrote through the nineties and into the oughts, and my nine-year-old daughter now types regularly.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Remington Portable 3 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Remington Serial Number page and the Remington Portable 3 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
