1921 Remington Portable Serial # NA14890 1921 Remington Portable typewriter, Serial # NA14890 Fumitaka Hayashi's 1921 Remington Portable typewriter. 2026-09-05 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Fumitaka Hayashi: 1921 Remington Portable Serial # NA14890 A Remington Portable.

I've wanted one of these that pop up. I have some of the later, non-popup descendents of this model. This one is missing a spool, so I had to jury-rig some ribbon to get a typing sample.

It's in fairly good shape. Everything seems to work, but the platen has a crack in it.

The case is in good condition, and somewhat shocking still has the leather handle. It seems original.

Another Goodwill auction acquisition - this one was sent in from North Georgia.

Trying very hard to be more judicious in my acquisitions...

I like interesting typefaces. I like tinkering with my acquisitions to make them work.


RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Remington Portable on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Remington Serial Number page and the Remington Portable By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
