1949 Remington All-New Serial # AT1963621 1949 Remington All-New typewriter, Serial # AT1963621 James Grooms's 1949 Remington All-New typewriter. 2024-05-28 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of James Grooms: 1949 Remington All-New Serial # AT1963621 A one owner machine that was a light clean without even taking the panels off. Unfortunately, the non hinged case that doesn't have latch downs at the feet bummed up the frame. This seems to be present on just about every early model? Anyway, a little wet sanding to smooth the gouging out and tape. The last three photos show the non hinged case and how easy/close it is to catch the case latch on the frame.

Rough numbers are that 16 of 20 prior to about 199 SN have this case latch paint damage (one of them has the later style case and excluding the repainted one). Somewhere around 199 they went to the hinged in the back case that everyone is familiar with. Interesting.

Part of a six machine Memorial Day expedition into the land of pump jacks and cowboys.

As with many, the bug is back there somewhere due to an Underwood No. 5. My grandfather was on a small town school board and used one for this. My parents had a yellow Royal Safari that I used to index card everything, including a beer can collection. Collection syndrome clue! The long dormant tic was activated when my neighbors left a Remington Quiet Riter on the curb when they moved in circa 2010, Yes a believe it or not story is next, when a Hermes 3000 comes home with the girlfriend from work for free. Yes, free! From there the addiction is full steam. And yes, I now have a No. 5. Typewriters are the perfect blend of using one's technical skills, history and functional purpose.


RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Remington All-New on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Remington Serial Number page and the Remington All-New By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
