Description:
A project for the future, this Remington Super Riter.
This is a French made unit, with French s/n and French AZERTY layout. What´s French as well is the ton of rust it has...
The date is a wild guess, since it´s far above those here at the DB.
In theory this can be a great typewriter, maybe on par with the Royal HH, but first it needs a lot of care. Everything is in there, nothing missing nor broken, but the images speak for themselves. This machine has been neglected for quite a while, but it looks resilient enough and I´m sure it´ll come back into action as if nothing had happened.

The first typewriter I saw was my grandpa´s Olivetti Linea 98 at the office. It was just a curio for me. Then I was given a Nakajima, which I didn´t use and my grandfather took it from me because it was easier to handle than the bulky Linea 98. Now I own that typewriter, and I started a little collection in Valladolid, Spain. The Nakajima, which is "my" typewriter only returned home in 2017, almost 20 years later, when he wanted a better typewriter.
A collection that started small grew into something bigger, a nuisace for my family and a great source of satisfaction for me.
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.
