Description:
It has "Model 5" in front of the spacebar and a Monarch paper table. Remington's use of the Monarch name is suppose to be wrapped up by the time the Deluxe Model 5 is manufactured, yet here one is. The B SN slots it right in with the Deluxe Model 5s. This case queen came with one good ribbon cover and a lone wolf from the parts bins completed the package. Note the painted section in front of the spacebar on early DM5s.

As with many, the bug is back there somewhere due to an Underwood No. 5. My grandparents had a No 5. My parents had a yellow Royal Safari that I used to index card everything, including a beer can collection. Collection syndrome clue! A casual interest in typewriters started with a garage sale 3 bank simply because it said Underwood on it. Typewriters were found here and there , but I wasn't actively looking for them. The long dormant collecting tic was activated when my neighbors left a Remington Quiet Riter on the curb when they moved.
Typewriters are the perfect blend of using one's technical skills, history and functional purpose. My goal is type tested machines. My interests are not isolated to anyone area. For example, I am a big fan of Smith Corona electrics, mid century electrics and all things Royal.
