Description:
There were two Remington Non Tab portables at the repair shop I'd gone to and I told the owner I'd buy one of them if he would refurbish it. Took me a few days to get the right model name because it looks so close to all the Riter models Thankfully, the serial number database helped me track the model down but my serial number does look a little different to the others.
The machine writes spectacularly and this is going to be a solid desktop model for me, but there are patches of rust forming and I'm contemplating spray painting the body.
Note: Serial number can be found on the right side of the right ribbon spool.

I'm a young(er) typewriter nut who doggedly pursued and waited for the day I'd buy a Smith-Corona to write with. The hobby is gradually becoming an obsession with newer members coming in :)
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Remington Non Tab Portable on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Remington Serial Number page and the Remington Non Tab Portable By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
