About the Item
A beautifully preserved example of early 20th-century industrial design, this Remington Portable typewriter from the 1930s combines form and function with enduring charm. Featuring a glossy black enamel body, striking yellow glass-topped keys, and a compact footprint, it exemplifies the craftsmanship and design sensibilities of its era.
This model was part of Remington’s effort to bring typewriters into the modern age—lightweight, portable, and elegant enough to appeal to writers, students, and professionals alike. It still bears the original gold “Remington Portable” branding and comes housed in its original wooden base, complete with a front latch for travel or display.
Condition:
The typewriter is in working condition—keys strike, carriage moves, and it types—but it has not been tested for longevity or sustained use. It will require a new ribbon for full functionality and may benefit from a professional cleaning to restore it to optimal performance.
