Description:
This Fairbanks Ward Deluxe Portable was made in Czechoslovakia. The Consul name had many variations, but a source claims the Remington serial numbers (pre-1960) have a ZP prefix--who knows. The sticker on bottom of machine says 37589, maybe this could be a manufacture date. There's no copyright date or exact name mention in the owners manual either. Upate 3/19/2023 gave this machine to help a good local cause!

I've fixed and sold many typewriters. There are three that I love to use for writing: 1930 Underwood No.5. 195 1 Remington Quiet-Riter, 1971 Hermes 3000.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Fairbanks Ward Deluxe Portable on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Fairbanks Ward Serial Number page and the Fairbanks Ward Deluxe Portable By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
