Description:
All Remington week? The oldest Model 5 Streamline currently in the TWDB gallery This one was no case queen and saw some heavy use. The platen and feet came from a later Model 5 parts machine. Could use some rollers, but I hate the diy ones because they rarely spec to the correct diameter.. So the set from the Remette that were replaced with the Model 5 bits can go to JJS someday and go on this one?
Summit Typewriter was in Akron from ca 1909 until the death of the owner in 1983.

As with many, the bug is back there somewhere due to an Underwood No. 5. My grandfather was on a small town school board and used one for this. My parents had a yellow Royal Safari that I used to index card everything, including a beer can collection. Collection syndrome clue! The long dormant tic was activated when my neighbors left a Remington Quiet Riter on the curb when they moved in circa 2010, Yes a believe it or not story is next, when a Hermes 3000 comes home with the girlfriend from work for free. Yes, free! From there the addiction is full steam. And yes, I now have a No. 5. Typewriters are the perfect blend of using one's technical skills, history and functional purpose.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Remington Model 5 Streamline on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Remington Serial Number page and the Remington Model 5 Streamline By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
