I saw a dusty typewriter, no marking… the owner could not ID… but I knew. So I offered $21.00… just when you think you are out… the type pulls you back!
Remington Model 5 Streamline…

To err is human to “arr” is pirate…
The nice thing about riding your bicycle across Iowa is that you get to read great words of wisdom like the one I just quoted…
Notes to start June 2015
Time slips… a few thoughts…
I hear the thud… and the thud is good…
Noise of a noiseless typewriter…
Circle back to nice…
Flutter thoughts… on the keys of a Monarch 3 (1917)
Not in the best shape… but I pressed the keys to see if I could get this one off the ground and into the air and for the most part it did what Butterfly’s do… float and bounce from here to there at its own pace and way.
The common… uncommon… the Remington Noiseless and others…
Some things you just don’t notice… noiseless typewriters had a long life over 40 years of manufacture and for the most part I was unaware. So many existed but I find them to be uncommon but common… so many but so few. A contradiction perhaps… but it sparks my interest in them.
Remington Art (Not Fredrick but Rand)…
By the time I read issue three of Etcetera… I knew that I had to have my Remington art work… (type by numbers instead of paint).
Types great even if its only 92
When I bought my Remington 10 I thought it was 100 plus years old. But turns out it was a decade younger. One day I will be correct and it will be over 100.
A type a day… makes my day complete.
The Smith Premier 10 is fun… you just type the size that matches the top of the key. No shifting needed.
