I have collected typewriters since the early 1970s. My first collectible machine was a Mignon, but I also had everyday typers then, first a Voss ST-24 and an Olivetti Praxis 48, and then a Hermes 3000 and a Hermes 10. Over the last decade or so, I've turned my focus from early machines (Lambert, Blickensderfer, Hammond, Smith-Premier, etc.) to portables.
Besides typewriters, I also am avid about Studebakers, and have had a 1964 Studebaker GT Hawk since 1979.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Remington Fleetwing on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Remington Serial Number page and the Remington Fleetwing By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
