Description:
Super Bowl hunting! When they need beer money, they deliver them.
This rough Super-Riter was rebuilt at some point. The feet and rubber are good. They took off all the greenish or gray paint to slap on this black. Underneath she is rust free and fairly clean. A bit of cleaning and she'd type with full functions. How many parts can it give up to the Seventeen project?

As with many, the bug is back there somewhere due to an Underwood No. 5. My grandparents had a No 5. My parents had a yellow Royal Safari that I used to index card everything, including a beer can collection. Collection syndrome clue! A casual interest in typewriters started with a garage sale 3 bank simply because it said Underwood on it. Typewriters were found here and there , but I wasn't actively looking for them. The long dormant collecting tic was activated when my neighbors left a Remington Quiet Riter on the curb when they moved.
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.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Remington Super-Riter on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Remington Serial Number page and the Remington Super-Riter By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
