Description:
My first typewriter. Purchased at a local junk shop in nearly new condition. I believe that the previous owner may have used it once or twice, then it sat in a closet for fifty or sixty years in its case. Elite typeface. I have many typewriters now and this machine is still one of my favorites. I believe every collector should own one.

Iâve been collecting typewriters since 2019. I started with a Remington 5 Streamliner that I found in a local junk shop and from there, my love for these machines grew and grew. I now have far too many typewriters in my collection, assuming that you think there is such a thing.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Remington Portable 5 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Remington Serial Number page and the Remington Portable 5 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
