Description:
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 grandfather was on a small town school board and used one for this. My parents had a yellow Royal Safari that I used to index card everything, including a beer can collection. Collection syndrome clue! The long dormant tic was activated when my neighbors left a Remington Quiet Riter on the curb when they moved in circa 2010, Yes a believe it or not story is next, when a Hermes 3000 comes home with the girlfriend from work for free. Yes, free! From there the addiction is full steam. And yes, I now have a No. 5. Typewriters are the perfect blend of using one's technical skills, history and functional purpose.
