Description:
Sears Roebuck sold the Remington Porto-Rite. It is really a Remington number two when you get down to it. Update 3/23/22 I sold this typewriter as part of a 2 typewriter deal to a girl named Kay, a street performer of poetry and teacher of a creative writing class to adults as well, who drive up from Chicago to buy it. Very glad to've been able to sell her a reliable machine.

After finding a Smith-Corona Coronet 12 at a curb-side (in Winter while walking the dog) I carried it home; after it thawed out and started coming back to life I was hooked. My interest in this hobby lead to taking two parts typewriters to create one good unit. This typewriter aliment is (pretty much) in-curable!
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Remington Porto-Rite on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Remington Serial Number page and the Remington Porto-Rite By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
