Works Nice! REMINGTON PORTABLE #2 Antique Typewriter "The portable typewriter with the standard keyboard - just like the big machines!" Serial #NA55656 - Manufactured in December, 1925 Other than missing the case handle, this cute little typewriter is in good working order. Weighs about 12 lbs. These little machines were marketed aggressively and were a great success. They were the first truly portable typewriters with four-bank keyboards, and in this category they had no competition until Royal and Underwood introduced four-bank portables in 1926. The "folding-typebar" mechanism raises the typebars to a 45-degree angle, the printing position, by means of a lever on the right side of the typewriter. The typebars must be lowered again when the typewriter is returned to its case. The carrying case is sometimes wood or metal covered in leather or imitation leather; usually (as on all subsequent Remington portables), it is wood covered in black cloth. In 1924 the price of the Remington Portable was $60. It was sold in France as the "Smith Premier Portative." Shipped Worldwide - you pay actual shipping!
