197X Remington Ten Forty Serial # FY639623 197X Remington Ten Forty typewriter, Serial # FY639623 Russell Knight's 197X Remington Ten Forty typewriter. 2025-12-30 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Russell Knight: 197X Remington Ten Forty Serial # FY639623 Found in an antique mall with the case foam disintegrating. The typeface sample was typed with a dried up ribbon and the contrast/brightness had to be edited digitally to make it legible, otherwise the type looks clean and well aligned. Pica typeface.

Trouble dating the year, judging from the other Ten-Fourty's here I'm guessing a 1970's model but if anybody has a better estimate that would help.

The typewriter had to be put in the case upside-down to keep the foam from falling in the mechanism.
