1933 Remington Model 1 Serial # P10309 1933 Remington Model 1 typewriter, Serial # P10309 GK Mandigo's 1933 Remington Model 1 typewriter. 2025-12-27 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of GK Mandigo: 1933 Remington Model 1 Serial # P10309 Nickname "Milton"
I have been wanting a Noiseless typewriter for some time and to be honest, was looking for a desktop standard model. Then I came across Milton at Goodwill. Once I saw the serial number and realized that Milton was the 309th machine ever made of this model, there was zero chance I was going to let anyone else take it home. As this "Noisy Noiseless" machine was built in the early 1930's, there is a certain amount of "chunkiness" in the typing action. That may be due to the era in which it was built or because of the engineering of the Noiseless design, or some of both, but it definitely feels different to me than other machines that followed coming out of WWII. Milton was built in the very depths of the Great Depression and the investment to buy it originally would have been considerable. In that first year of the manufacture of the Model One, the model name next to the space bar had "one" spelled out. Shortly after, it was changed to the digit "1". The fact that a machine that is over 90-years-old still functions completely and correctly is a credit to the quality of its engineering and manufacturing. Milton has all of the details of its time, glossy black paint, round keys with metal rings, and because it is a Noiseless, the unusual type bar linkage structure that was unlike anything that preceded it and to a large extent, came after it. Noiseless architecture had a very strong run and was protected by patents held by Remington. That allowed Remington to have a unique position in the market for quite some time. An important part of the evolution of the manual typewriter.

Metastatic cancer fighter and sudden cardiac arrest survivor who has gotten into vintage typewriter collecting after realizing that life is short and typewriters are fascinating. My machines range from 1933 to 1973 and I type on all of them and have given each of them a name. Have I mentioned that life is short? I am having great fun with this obsessi- I mean hobby. I live in San Diego, California.
