1940 Remington Deluxe Remette Serial # CQ1134768 1940 Remington Deluxe Remette typewriter, Serial # CQ1134768 Mark Schrad's 1940 Remington Deluxe Remette typewriter. 2025-03-26 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Mark Schrad: 1940 Remington Deluxe Remette Serial # CQ1134768 A very curious machine! The "Deluxe" in Deluxe Remette seems to indicate a bigger paper table, two carriage knobs instead of one, and a larger carriage-return lever. But look closer, and there is something very curious about this one: the three dead keys on the right hand side of the keyboard are all manufactured to strike the paper one space TO THE LEFT of where it should hit, so as to add the accent marks to the letter that came previously. I had never seen this on a machine with dead keys before. Purchased in Garden City, NY in February, 2025.
