REMINGTON RAND STREAMLINER BLACK GLOSSY PORTABLE TYPEWRITER WITH RED KEY

Remington Typewriter Company

In 1886, E. Remington and Sons sold its typewriter business to the Standard Typewriter Manufacturing Company, Inc. Included were the rights to use the Remington name. The buyers were William O. Wyckoff, Harry H. Benedict, and Clarence Seamans, all of whom worked for Remington.

Standard Typewriter changed its name in 1902 to Remington Typewriter Company. This company merged in 1927 with Rand Kardex Bureau to form Remington Rand, which continued to manufacture office equipment and later became a major computer company, as well as manufacturing electric razors.

Remington Rand portable typewriters with red accent keys, like those on the Model 5 and Streamliner amd were produced between 1940 and 1947.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:

This specific model, known for its rounded, modernist design and smooth gloss black lacquer body, featured accent keys that were usually red.

The Remington Model 5 was manufactured in the USA between 1940 and 1947.

These typewriters also had sturdy hard shell cases, attractive metal stamped rulers, classic metal ribbon spools, and an end-of-line bell.

This typewriter is arguably one of the more beautiful machines in history. It’s rounded, modernist design has held up well to time, and makes it one of the more sought after machine for vintage writing-machine connoisseurs.

The smooth gloss black lacquer body gets polished to a beautiful sheen, which is bound to inspire, conversation and prose alike.

Features:

‘Self starter’ key, which automatically advances the carriage 5 spaces. This is in lieu of a ‘tab’ setting.

Carriage Shift

Sturdy Hard shell case.

Attractive metal stamped rulers.

Classic metal ribbon spools.

End-of-line faint bell.

The last photograph shows the Serial number behind the backspace key etched into the plate.

Some of the keys include 1/4, 1/2 and the "cent" sign which are long lost these days.

This typewriter has great logos and a beautiful black lacquer, as well as near perfect chrome. It includes the wonderful case with clean latches and hinges and leather handle with 2 closing snap locks. It is quite substantial and weighs nearly 15 pounds without any packaging,

It will be carefully wrapped and packaged to prevent damage during transit.
