Oh Brother! This one is so clean that after a polish you need shades. Part of the pump jack and cowboys 'era' tour. It also came with a bit of old homework, but the Dewey bit is definitely not correct period, I wonder what that was typed on?
Interesting that Remington supplied a full sized manual and a spelling book with some product placement.
This was a whole lotta typewriter at that K-Mart Blue Light special price. Hey and I did a tour at a K-Mart!!! No wonder Smith-Corona took them to court.

As with many, the bug is back there somewhere due to an Underwood No. 5. My grandparents had a No 5. My parents had a yellow Royal Safari that I used to index card everything, including a beer can collection. Collection syndrome clue! A casual interest in typewriters started with a garage sale 3 bank simply because it said Underwood on it. Typewriters were found here and there , but I wasn't actively looking for them. The long dormant collecting tic was activated when my neighbors left a Remington Quiet Riter on the curb when they moved.
Typewriters are the perfect blend of using one's technical skills, history and functional purpose. My goal is type tested machines. My interests are not isolated to anyone area. For example, I am a big fan of Smith Corona electrics, mid century electrics and all things Royal.
