1938 Remington Junior Serial # S261861 1938 Remington Junior typewriter, Serial # S261861 Brian Decker's 1938 Remington Junior typewriter. 2026-08-01 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Brian Decker: 1938 Remington Junior Serial # S261861 2026-AUG-01, Gallery Creation. Yet another eBay sighting of interest to me on 8/1/26. This one is of interest because it's a February 1938 Remington "Junior" portable, with Art Deco styling on the badging, made in the same month as my own example, #S261005 (see linked gallery). The "Remington" on the paper table is styled similarly to mine. This one is being sold by "bilzbigdealz" in Phillipsburg, NJ, for $89.99 OBO. Note that the keyboard also includes an insertion ("^") character, like my example.

Status: Typewriter Hunter
Points: 3946

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