1931 Remington Porto-Rite Serial # SR13075 1931 Remington Porto-Rite typewriter, Serial # SR13075 Brian Decker's 1931 Remington Porto-Rite typewriter. 2026-10-17 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Brian Decker: 1931 Remington Porto-Rite Serial # SR13075 2026-OCT-17, Gallery Creation. Another recent eBay sighting, still listed: seller is "sweetthundershop" in Berwyn, IL, and asking price currently is $175 OBO. As expected, this Porto-Rite has the serial number on the type linkage comb in front; the Tab key; and the knobbed-rod type of paper release lever. If #SR14972 really is dated May 1932, it seems likely the #SR13075 is from 1931. Especially given that #SR11924 has the serial number on the comb, and thus is likely to be post-October 1930.

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

Status: Typewriter Hunter
Points: 7124

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