1922 Remington Portable Serial # NK25038 1922 Remington Portable typewriter, Serial # NK25038 Brian Decker's 1922 Remington Portable typewriter. 2026-06-16 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Brian Decker: 1922 Remington Portable Serial # NK25038 2026-JUN-16, Original gallery creation. Noticed this new listing on eBay today, listed just yesterday. A good snap of the serial number is provided. There are some decent images of the basket of type slugs; enough to conclude that there are no foundry markings whatsoever on the slugs. Still on the search for good images of type slugs on machines after August 1922, when I believe foundry marks started showing up piecemeal on Remington portables.

Brian Decker's Typewriter Galleries [ My Collection ] [ My Sightings ]

Status: Typewriter Hunter
Points: 3066

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.
