Description:
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.
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.
