Description:
According to the unusually detailed serial number records, this Remington Seventeen was manufactured in October 1941. Although it may no longer be pretty, I like the art deco stylings that include not just the decals and (now tarnished) steel and chrome, but the rounded buttons on the platen knobs. The type is extremely snappy, fast and reliable, with never a jam. The face is elite. (Sold in 2024.)

Resident of Portland, Oregon since 2015. Mostly interested in semi-portables of the '30s, '40s, and '50s (the late glass key top through late pre-electric eras), with a special interest in unusual or distinctive typefaces other than techno and script. Always learning!
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Remington 17 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Remington Serial Number page and the Remington 17 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
