1938 Remington Portable 5 Serial # B46943 1938 Remington Portable 5 typewriter, Serial # B46943 Gerald Ambrose's 1938 Remington Portable 5 typewriter. 2017-06-09 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Gerald Ambrose: 1938 Remington Portable 5 Serial # B46943 Spotted at an antique store I frequent.

I was VERY tempted to buy this machine and I did not want to look at the tag at first. The condition is very nice, and it works very well. I looked at the tag... $125!

Oh well. I will have to come back to it!

Correction, this is from 1938! The return lever should have pointed that out to me!

I started collecting typewriters several years ago and it started with a late 1960s Smith-Corona Sterling portable that I got as a gift.
