Description:
A fine example of a classic. Every typewriter evokes a memory? This one reminds of schooling pickers and we shall leave it at that...
Reversed "P6" on the slug, so Pica 6 in Remington's world? And 10 cpi.
Ad image is from 1947 LA Times. In my informal newspaper research, Remington had a huge ad budget. I haven't seen any other manufacturer spend so much. And if you look on YouTube, they had a big TV ad spend on some high rated shows.

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.
