1901 Remington 7 Serial # 69894 1901 Remington 7 typewriter, Serial # 69894 Aleks Shipilov's 1901 Remington 7 typewriter. 2026-11-12 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Aleks Shipilov: 1901 Remington 7 Serial # 69894 From above and on the back panel, there is a marking indicating the exporting organization: “J. Block Partnership.”
In addition, on the upper left side of the front face, a small plaque is attached with two brass rivets:
“Partnership on Shares J.Block Representatives for All of Russia.”
I can assume that the plaque was made of copper using the embossing method, like coins.
It’s amusing, but when the matrix was made in a mirrored image,
an error occurred with the direction of the second slanted element
in three letters of the Russian words: instead of the Cyrillic letter “И,” a Latin “N” appeared.
However, for unknown reasons (perhaps due to the high cost of producing the original layout),
no one bothered to fix anything:-)

Over its long and well‑earned working life, the typewriter sustained critical damage
and just as critical “repair” changes:-(.
Now we need to figure out how to mitigate them and get the device back in working order.

Message for Brian Decker: - I was wrong — I don’t have a Remington 6. It turned out to be a Model 7.
