1956 Remington Quiet-Riter Serial # QR2478260 1956 Remington Quiet-Riter typewriter, Serial # QR2478260 LaDonna Qualtieri's 1956 Remington Quiet-Riter typewriter. 2024-11-14 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of LaDonna Qualtieri: 1956 Remington Quiet-Riter Serial # QR2478260 A gift from a friend, drop-shipped from Goodwill.com. Working on arrival with a nice pica typeface. The keys have smooth downward bevel edges that are easy on the fingertips. The rubber feet look pretty new. The one small screw I found in the case is one of 4 that hold the body to the frame underneath- the body is bent and that hole will not line up without some adjustment. The alignment also prohibits the machine from properly latching into the case- but it types! Three aluminum pins were in the case, too. Please comment if you know what they are, thanks.
As of today, 11/14/24, this machine belongs to Zach!

I have many pen pals and correspond via handwritten and typed letters. I have a (painful) sitting disability and type while standing- UPDATE! I can also type on an ultraportable I set up on my bed. Typing and collecting machines with different typefaces keeps me busy and happily distracted from the difficulties in life-fountain pens, too, and I can write legibly, in cursive, while laying down. Join me on Type Pals and register for the monthly postcard exchanges. The “Cat Mews†is a quarterly publication of the philatelic topical group Cats On Stamps Study Unit (COSSU), for which I am a column contributor. My cats are Wiffle Wizard and Urushi (Rushi) Blizzard, aka the Blizzard Sisters.


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