1941 Remington 17 Serial # J399845 1941 Remington 17 typewriter, Serial # J399845 Trevor London's 1941 Remington 17 typewriter. 2020-07-11 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Trevor London: 1941 Remington 17 Serial # J399845 Serial number says it was made December 1941, most likely in the 2nd half of the month. This has interesting implications, knowing how this was a very popular model with the armed forces and government. I have this romantic notion that this was part of some war contract which would mean this typewriter has served its country! Like the HH's in my collection, I would not otherwise be very very interested in this model, im this case the serial number is more interesting than the typewriter itself! Which means I'll rebuild it and keep it.
