Acquired 196X Remington Streamliner Portable Typewriter (Remington-Rand, Inc.)

Serial number: AX-168959
Pica typeface, 10 characters per inch, monochrome, carriage shift

Acquired 2024-09-04. In generally good shape.

The case is in exceptional shape given that these usually aren’t extant or have been shattered into pieces. There is one piece broken off, but it came with the machine and should be able to be fused back onto the case. Came without the hubs or covers. It’s slightly more mint green than the mint blue of the other Streamliner I’ve got which has a somewhat smaller serial number.

I’ve cleaned it up a tad this week to take to the type-in at Vroman’s Bookstore this weekend. It still needs a tweak to the line selector, but isn’t terrifically noticeable and I might be able to fix it before then.
