Game: Name that naked typewriter

Just for fun, let’s see who can come closest to a make, model and year for this lovely typewriter I’ve got on the bench this week for restoration.

Please, no more than two guesses per player.  Answer to be posted Friday.

A typewriter stripped down with all the exterior panels, keys, and identifying portions removed. We only see the internal mechanical portions remaining.

  12. Sorry for the delay in the answer. I wanted to have the machine finished up. It’s a now-restored Remington Super-Riter from March 1951.

    My favorite answer was from u/Thatrailfan with “Fred”, which I’m considering as a name for it now.
