1965 Remington Mark II Serial # 1370479 1965 Remington Mark II typewriter, Serial # 1370479 Thomas Wyse's 1965 Remington Mark II typewriter. 2022-11-27 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Thomas Wyse: 1965 Remington Mark II Serial # 1370479 There is a purple 65 inside the cover, so I am assuming this is from 1965. It's made in German, and it has Ro 85 Pica Cubic typeface. I thought I would really like the typeface, but I haven't fallen in love with it. The case looks a lot like an Olympia case. I had a chance to compare it with a Torpedo 18b and they were very similar they were inside. The carriage rails are different, but the primary mechanisms appear identical. Purchased 9/22 for $18 plus $82 shipping. Sold 11/22
