Description:
Really nice number 16. Untouched as I get it. Most likely sold in Poland and adapted to Czech later on. I was told that it was sitting in the doctor's office and that explains its condition.
I think that is really pointless talking about how good a typewriter this is. Remington 16. Just it. Elegant. Efficient. Durable. I really like it.
Nice thing on this particular writer is "KÄs" key. KÄs stands for Koruna Äeskoslovenská / Korun Äeskoslovenských, old Czechoslovak currency.

I am a passionate amateur mechanic from the Czech Republic, and I have always mesmerized by the complexity of typewriters since my childhood. The first one (Zeta 1501) was just a toy to me in the beginning, but by every year I got older I got also better at understanding how it is working and how to disassemble it and assemble it again. The second one was Ideal DZ33 which started my love for antique machines with all the chrome and glass keys.
My machines range from mint ones through a majority of well-used machines to piles of rust that I have repaired to be typewriters again which is a lot of fun for me.
I am quite obsessed with the beauty and technical genius of standard Continentals. I love how they were producing one model of a typewriter from 1904 to the '50s with constant changes in design and my goal is to collect every decal and every major variation of them.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Remington 16 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Remington Serial Number page and the Remington 16 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
