1935 Remington 16 Serial # Z510620 1935 Remington 16 typewriter, Serial # Z510620 Brent Wegher's 1935 Remington 16 typewriter. 2025-05-16 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Brent Wegher: 1935 Remington 16 Serial # Z510620 Local spring cleaning auction. Very heavy.
Almost entirely functioning, all keys work, Carriage shift is very smooth and easy
Ribbon advances as it should, ribbon advance crank works in both directions.
Very snappy and precise action, a little surprised. Types with good alignment of upper/lower case.
Return lever good, paper advance select works for single, double or triple.
Pica 10 type, see picture below. Standard US keyboard
The paint is good, some cleaning needed. Photos are before cleaning.
Platen rubber very hard, rollers ok, paper inserts and advances normally.
Platen cylinder diameter 1 and 1/2 inches, length of rubber is 10 and 5/8 inches.
Plastic/resin platen knobs on both sides have partially crumbled. But can be used.
Carriage fully functional, smooth, tabs work. Bell rings like new. Even the adjustable rubber feet are ok, but cracking.
This machine must have been stored in a dry place, under side looks excellent, Very light fine brown Kansas dust in the crevices on the back.
Where is the paper bail??
Crude addition of stamp pad ink onto old ribbon. Sample type page can be improved.
Don't plan using this machine, decoration only, but it is tempting . If it only had a paper bail, the side fingers work ok.
Added better photos in 2025.

Typing down thoughts, prefer that to handwriting.
Not really a collector, just like to tinker on mechanical things.
