Description:
1974 Sperry Rand (Remington) Performer (Manufactured by Brother)
FB Marketplace $60
Full Working Condition. This typewriter was hard to identify as it seems to have been made by Remington/Sperry Rand, but has been built by Brother. This era of typewriters (the 70's) sees several manufacturers building out of other factories or being bought, this is clearly about the same build as my Brother Echelon, so the influences are clear. It is a smooth writer nonetheless.

Though I have had a love for typewriters since I was a kid (in the 90's) I didn't start collecting in earnest until 2020 (having had 3 typewriters still in my posession and several long gone). Since then, I have become an avid collector, focusing primarily on fully functional manual typewriters. After collecting more than 30, I determined that my favorite Brand overall is Smith Corona and I attempt to hone my collection in that direction. Here's the preservation of one of the best storytellers we've ever known!!
