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.

First typewriter bought in 6/2023, now at over 30 in my collection with most recorded in the galleries. There's a special place in my heart for Smith-Coronas, blue typewriters, and typewriters from 1964 (my parents' birth year). Prefer manuals to electrics, portables to ultra portables or desktops, but will head home with anything if it's cheap enough and functional/repairable. I've successfully gifted typewriters to two siblings, a best friend, and an in-law. Keeping up with my lifelong tradition of making and repairing by hand. When not typing or working on a typewriter, I'm often reading, gardening (vegetable), preserving harvests (canning, dehydrating, freezing), knitting, sewing, writing letters/short stories, or shooting film photography. I like the slow, analog life.
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.
