Description
Remington Home Portable Typewriter
This is an excellent example of an early (approx1930s) Remington portable typewriter. Assembled in London by British labour.
Condition - very good condition, (boxed typewriter are always good and clean being sealed away from the dreaded dust). The handle has been replaced by string. The ribbon seems OK (see pictures).
In 1873, E. Remington and Sons – a New York company with a history of manufacturing guns, and then sewing machines – produced the first commercial typewriter. It used the QWERTY layout, still used today, that was designed by Christopher Sholes. Five years later, the Remington Number 2 was released, giving operators access to upper and lower case characters through the use of the Shift key.
Approximate Measurements
Height 13cm (5 inches)
Depth 32cm (12.5 inches)
