According to official Remington records, this typewriter, serial number QR-2704157 was made in late April, 1954. The typewriter's printing is quiet, but the other machinery is noisier. The case is lined in the same kind of felt as a pool table. In my experience, most Remington portables have the larger Pica typeface, but this one has Elite type. This typewriter works incredibly well, especially considering its age--it needed no adjustment, or cleaning.
