A Little Interesting History about this model...Produced by Smith Premier in their factory in West Bromwich, England, it is identical to the Remington Remette typewriter. It was the middle of the depression years when this typewriter rolled off the production line so it had some innovative cost-saving changes: no dual-colour ribbon, no tabulator, no carriage release lever on the right hand side, no bell and no right side margin marker. It still has the classic round black glass typewriter keys with white letters and silver-tone metal collars. This lovely typewriter has the raised hammers when typing making this a unique machine to type with.
This typewriter was sold by Smith Premier Typewriter Co. 4 St. Paul's Churchyard, London in 1938. This was the year Orson Welles's radio adaptation of The War of the Worlds was being broadcast on the radio, Action Comics issues the first Superman comic, the first ballpoint pens were available, teflon has just been invented and Nescafe developed freeze-dried coffee! This is a typewriter from a different era.
This is a working typewriter and collector's item and would also make a very thoughtful and unique gift.
