Description:
Purchased via auction, arrived in much rougher condition than visible online. Bought because I was curious about the construction of the short strike machines, but very early assessment was that it wasn't salvageable. After a little fiddling and looking, honestly, it MIGHT be worth the time. I know there weren't a ton of these made, so it's kind of on the fence if best served as parts or cleaned up whole. It's going to have to go on a back shelf for now, but will revisit in the future.
All keys do not type; no typeface sample.
March 1936 production.

I am quite new to the typewriter world (first bought 6/2023), but I sort of jumped right in with three typewriters in my first week. I am interested in the mechanics of manual typewriters, as well as have an affinity for cleaning up long-forgotten gems. I'm a Smith-Corona fiend, but any nice typewriter will do!
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Remington 11 "Speed Stroke" on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Remington Serial Number page and the Remington 11 "Speed Stroke" By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
