This is an absolutely beautiful Remington Portable made in the late 1920s. This machine would have gone straight to my collection if I didn't already have four of these. This one is a little special, though. This typewriter has a Pharmaceutical Keyboard. Take note of the Rx, the ae, and other symbols. This machine could have written prescription labels, or anything relating to it. This typewriter is also in stunning condition, especially being from the 1920s. The keys shine wonderfully, and the paint is in remarkable condition considering the age. The case is a little beat up, but it protected the typewriter very well. The case is also hard to latch, and takes some time to figure out the best method to latching it, but it does in fact close and latch. The typewriter case also still has the original leather handle in tact! Over 75% of the time, that handle is missing on these. One of the coolest features, and what made it smaller and flatter than most typewriters at the time, is that the typebars fold up to be used, and fold back down to be stowed in the case. (see first and second pictures) For people who aren't familiar with the Remington Portable, there is a switch on the right hand side of the typewriter that needs to be used in order for the machine to work (see fifth and sixth pictures) If the user tries to type with the typebars folded for fitting in the case, they will come to the conclusion that the typewriter doesn't work, but this is not true.
This typewriter is extremely old for ones I typically sell, so while it does work 100%, it's not meant for heavy typing. Still, this typewriter is a beauty, and would make a great addition to any typewriter collection.
