Just My Type

If you want to write that great American novel, what better instrument than this solid and substantial Remington No. 11 manual typewriter dating from the 1930s?  By American company Remington Typewriter Company, you can channel your inner Ernest Hemingway or F. Scott Fitzgerald.  


E. Remington and Sons began in the 1830s by manufacturing firearms, producing its first typewriter in 1873.  In 1886, the company sold its typewriter business to the Standard Typewriter Manufacturing Company, including the rights to the Remington name.  





Once considered the most modern office innovation, the typewriter has since been replaced by the computer.   In 2011, Godrej and Boyce, the last company in the world manufacturing typewriters, closed its plant in Mumbai, India.
