Description:
I found this machine while at a teaching conference in Bay City, Michigan. I traveled from my new home in Portland Oregon back to my origins in the great lake state ans stopped in a little record store where the proprietor was typing signs for the shop on this machine. He asked $20 for it and I was happy to oblige. The ribbon is a little faint, but I have a replacement ready.

I started collecting typewriters in 1996 when my employer at an old newsstand in Kalamazoo, MI gave me her mother's Underwood Elliot Fisher Noiseless; I love these machines and learning how to repair and maintain them. The Noiseless was the medium for a zine I wrote through the nineties and into the oughts, and my nine-year-old daughter now types regularly.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Remington Writer on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Remington Serial Number page and the Remington Writer By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
