An uncontested classic from typewriter history. This prized Remington Portable Model 5 typewriter is known for its aesthetic design. Serial no V691992 which dates it to 1935.
It couples timeless styling with utilitarian grace. Glorious high gloss black finish and flashing nickel key rims. Exquisite gold lettering. Has a curved, Art Deco biomorphic shape. The serif Elite typeface, 12 characters per inch size (12 point), has a beautiful vintage feel. It has a specialized Self-Starter (PAR) Key. The distinct red button on the right side is a hallmark of this model. It functions as a paragraph key, automatically advancing the carriage five spaces in place of a traditional tabulator. It has the great geared type bar system of all the early Remington portables.
It is known for being a surviving and popular model among typewriter enthusiasts. In excellent condition. All the keys work. No major scratches to the surface. It may need a new roller...it will grab the paper, but you have to help get it started by pushing it into the roller. Is missing the four rubber feet. The letter F is at a slight angle. The bell works. The graphics are crisp and clear. No case. Weighs 9lbs. We are including a new ribbon. The old ribbon is still in the typewriter.
