Description:
I've been wanting a Remington 6 for a while, and then I found this one, the oldest example currently in the database (serial number 9862). You can notice the different position of the bell (missing in this case), the absence of the margin unlock button in the top left of the frame, and the double shift key. It's in excellent condition, but unfortunately it suffered serious damage during shipping. It had been packaged really well, but unfortunately that wasn't enough. The frame broke, the outer left part, the one that supports the carriage. Now I'll think about what to do with it, I'm really disappointed because it's still in excellent condition, the chrome is still in excellent condition, the keyboard has a beautiful feel, and it could certainly have written many more pages.

Hi!
I love going to second-hand markets to find typewriters to valorize. I want each of my typewriters to be functional, as I use them to actually write every day. I collect all kinds of typewriter, I'm (slowly) adding my 50+ collection to the database, meanwhile the collection is growing much faster than my uploads.. and that's a problem!
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Remington 6 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Remington Serial Number page and the Remington 6 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
