88 Words About Remmi 5

B ehold the beauty of the Remington Rand #5 typewriter. This lovely piece of machinery debuted in 1935, with a special self starter button (red, bottom right) which made for automatic indention. Hit it once for a five space tab, twice for ten.


It was also the first model to adopt the graceful art deco lines, utilizing curves where past writing machines were boxy and cumbersome. In my opinion, it is the prettiest typewriter of them all.


And I am now the proud owner of this gorgeous machine. Hoorah!
