196X Remington Premier Serial # unknown 196X Remington Premier typewriter, Serial # unknown James Gifford's 196X Remington Premier typewriter. 2016-09-05 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of James Gifford: 196X Remington Premier Serial # unknown I can't much information on this little portable, and I can't for the life of me find the serial number. I've taken it apart--the entire top of the plastic case comes off in one piece--and have looked inside, outside, everywhere, but I can't find it. I did discover that though the typewriter was manufactured in Holland, the plastic shell mentioned above was made in West Germany. But no serial number that I can find! The case, though it doesn't seem to be broken, is very difficult to unlatch. I had someone over who was considering buying it, back when I was unsuccessfully selling down the fleet, and we spent 15 minutes trying to get it open. I did get it open, but now I'm not too anxious to put the lid back on, at least until I figure out the serial number.

James Gifford's Typewriter Galleries [ My Collection ] [ My Sightings ]

Status: Typewriter Hunter
Points: 2325

I am a writer and book editor as well as a collector of typewriters. It started with an Hermes 3000 desktop, which I stupidly sold last year, but now another sits on my desk for typing envelopes with a beautiful sans serif typeface. I type every day on different machines in my collection, which stands at about 60 at the moment. Favourites include my two 3000s, a 1930s Smith-Corona Silent, the Olivetti Studio 44 (red case), and a crinkle, chrome-encircled Royal Quiet Deluxe. I have also been finding very inexpensive Royal 10s of late; I currently own three, two from the 1910s and the other a later model, and another (1931) I sold to a friend at cost for his son, who appreciates vintage things. I am always on the lookout for new and interesting machines and often trade or sell to try new models. Living and working in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.


RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Remington Premier on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Remington Serial Number page and the Remington Premier By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
