Description:
Spotted in the wild at an antique shop in Cedar Rapids, IA that was mostly furniture and mostly not actually for sale. He wanted $500 for it.
Database says the serial numbers start at 150,000 but this is lower. I'm pretty sure I read it right, though.

I've been collecting typewriters since 2010. I currently have 100+ machines in my possession. A little over half of them reside in my "personal" collection, while the rest are machines I intend to clean up for sale, or are long-term restoration projects (I'm looking at you, Olivers and Foxes!).
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Remington Model 1 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Remington Serial Number page and the Remington Model 1 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
