Description:
2026-AUG-01, Gallery Creation. An eBay sighting of a late serial number Remington 7 Upstrike. This example has the distinction of being the latest serial number for a Rem 7 Upstrike on TWDB so far. The seller "whi_2869" from the Cave Creek, AZ area is starting the bidding at $75, with a "Buy It Now" price of $300. This machine has seen better days, but is probably salvageable. From the serial number, it was likely manufactured in mid-1909. It's within about 5,000 of the end-of-run, but because of the long tail of low-level production for this model, the end did not come until July of 1914.

My interest in typewriters started in 1997, when I was in graduate school at the University of Georgia. I purchased and read Darryl Rehr's book, joined ETC, and started reaching out to known collectors. I had several email interchanges with Richard Polt dating from that period. I also bought some of my first machines from Bob Aubert, and visited him at his home twice. After marriage and relocation to New England, I continued visiting antique shops and eBay, until other priorities put my typewriter hobby on hiatus around 2008.
In late 2024, I started up again, working on my machines and having some of them serviced professionally by New England Typewriter (NET) LLC (Merrimack, NH), until they closed their doors in December of 2025. Since mid-2025, I have been adding to my collection again, first with a Hermes 3000 purchase from NET, then with various auctions and purchases on eBay, when I find something that catches my eye.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Remington 7 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Remington Serial Number page and the Remington 7 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
