1956 Remington Standard Serial # J2653859 1956 Remington Standard typewriter, Serial # J2653859 James Grooms's 1956 Remington Standard typewriter. 2024-12-05 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of James Grooms: 1956 Remington Standard Serial # J2653859 This nice example did a tour on the wedding circuit. Other than a couple of missing keys and a bent vibrator, she held up pretty well. Under the ugly skin and drab paint is a magnificent machine.

Standards have margin sets up top. Some had an external ribbon selector switch, some did not. Some had Standard on the cover, and others did not. This also matches the art work used for ads. There's a lot of Standards in with the Super-Riter gallery.

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