Description:
Looking at the other examples here, I think this is a Remington Portable 2?. Seen in a local antique emporium at GBP95.00 which is probably a reasonable price. It looks in fair condition, but it's a bit early for my tastes as I like to use my typewriters and I'm not sure how useable this one would be.

Retired Air Traffic Controller. Got my first typewriter from Santa when I was about 8 years old and woke my parents up at 3am as I just had to try it out when I woke up! Have had an old Imperial 58 in the family for longer than I can remember. A computer geek, but I just love the mechanics of typewriters and have started to collect a few more to keep the Imperial company!
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Remington Portable on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Remington Serial Number page and the Remington Portable By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
