1928 Remington Portable 2 Serial # NV85847 1928 Remington Portable 2 typewriter, Serial # NV85847 Ollie Prochaska's 1928 Remington Portable 2 typewriter. 2025-09-11 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Ollie Prochaska: 1928 Remington Portable 2 Serial # NV85847 Purchased in June 2025 at a Quaker school in Princeton, NJ. Hungarian keyboard. This one seems to have been very well-kept, however the platen is badly cracked and crumbles apart if you look at it wrong. Aside from that, it's probably the nicest Remington Portable I've ever typed on, and with a new platen it'll probably see regular use.

I have a modest collection I started as a teenager. I recently started actively collecting machines again and now I’m back up to about 20 machines.
