Description:
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 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 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.
