Description:
Talked the guy down from $90 to $60. Includes great features like tabulator (self-starter in the Deluxe 5), carriage lock, and highly visible paper gage. Types well. Only thing wrong are the feet and it's missing a case half. Great find. Pica font, 10 cpi.

I am a professional historian and writer. I have been collecting typewriters since 2013, and use them for all of my work (novels, short stories, poetry, non-fiction, and personal letters). I have a passion for all things antique, but hold a special place for these tools. Some of my collection is up for sale or trade, so if you see something you want, let me know!

RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Remington Portable 5 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Remington Serial Number page and the Remington Portable 5 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
