1956 Remington Travel-Riter Serial # TR 173730 1956 Remington Travel-Riter typewriter, Serial # TR 173730 Mark Schrad's 1956 Remington Travel-Riter typewriter. 2024-11-15 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Mark Schrad: 1956 Remington Travel-Riter Serial # TR 173730 Can I just say that Remington did itself no favors with eliminating the letter "W" from the Quiet-Riter, Travel-Riter, and Sky-Riter? I know they couldn't have anticipated things like autocorrect, but damn!!

Anyway, here's a nice Travel-Riter, made in Holland in 1956. I'm a bit disappointed in its lack of functionality, including basic ribbon-color select. But for what it does, it does pretty well.

Purchased from a fellow typewriter enthusiast in Royersford, PA in October, 2024.
