Two Remingtons Join The Fleet

It looks like somethings missing from this machine but it's intact.



This 1940 Remington 5 is a favorite.


I like old dealer stickers on machines. Lets you know where your machines been.

This Underwood No.4 has special keys added for an accountant.

This Underwood Deluxe has a great 50's look to it.

  1. Very nice typewriters. The finger key top is great. I like the Hermes ad also. Reminds me of my latest Hermes repair.

  2. Man, how I would love to find a typewriter with a pointing finger key! How neat is that? I would love to see how this looks typed on a piece of paper.

  3. Great job on the Remingtons -- they look factory fresh!

    I have never even heard of a typewriter that types a pointing hand. That is wonderful.

    Good ads, too. I don't find "They go thunk instead of clack" to be a great selling point for the Hermes 3000, but to each his own!

    Thanks for another very entertaining update.

  4. Bill- That can't be good if that Hermes ad reminds you of your repair. When I first learned repairs I would take machines apart and lay out the pieces in order just like that Hermes ad. I still do it when I'm working with something new.

    Ken- I'll go through my scrap paper at the shop and try to find the test sheet from that No.4 and find a sample of the pointing finger. If I find it, I'll post it next week. It was cool. Thanks.

    Richard- Thanks for your generous comments. Whoever wrote the script for that Hermes ad wasn't a typewriter guy but a Madison Ave guy.
