1925 Remington Portable 2 Serial # NX52146 1925 Remington Portable 2 typewriter, Serial # NX52146 Brian Decker's 1925 Remington Portable 2 typewriter. 2025-11-30 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Brian Decker: 1925 Remington Portable 2 Serial # NX52146 This is my 1925 Remington Model 2 portable typewriter, S/N NX52146 (May 1925). I won it at auction on eBay on 9/30/1998. My winning bid was $33.34, and with shipping at $9.00, my total cost came to $42.34. This machine is in excellent cosmetic condition with great decals. It has not been serviced, except for installation of a fresh ribbon; but it is in reasonable operating condition, except that the lower or "red" bichrome ribbon selector setting produces a two-tone black-red print. It has an Elite typeface. It came with its original case, which came with its original key; there is also a worn-out cleaning brush in the case.

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. I still have my collection of around 57 machines, and now I have a renewed interest in getting some of them in good working and cosmetic order.
