1965 Remington Standard Model 19

New typing ease through modern engineering. The fastest, most responsive typing action yet.

The Remington Standard Model 19 typewriter is a great example of mid-century modern design, which was manufactured in 1965 (serial no. J3873347). This office desktop has been well-kept, preserved, and protected for over 50 years. Remington typewriters are known for their precision, and this is exemplified in the Model 19 by the extremely smooth roll of the carriage, making it a pleasure to use. It is in excellent condition, both mechanically and cosmetically.

This machine weighs 30.8 lbs and measures 14.5x17x9.5 inches. It features a 10-character per inch and types 6 lines per inch in Elite typeface, with a US-style keyboard. You can use universal ribbons to thread Remington's unique spool system. For your convenience, a fresh new nylon bichrome ribbon has been installed for immediate use.

Initially, a standard typewriter was any machine with a four-row QWERTY keyboard, but ultimately the term designated a desktop model. This Model 19 dates to the 1960s, and has a plastic encasement and stylized key-tops. The plastic body is in two tones of warm and light sage green. It has a color selector for black, stencil, and red.

The keytops are a striking feature on this machine: bone-white tops with dark-tone base. You will love the appearance of the keytops, which have shallow divots, for a satisfying typing experience. In one advertisement, Remington boasts, "New typing ease through modern engineering. The fastest, most responsive typing action yet." Indeed, the Model 19 is a fine machine and very responsive.

If you're looking for a mid-60s classic in impressive condition both cosmetically and mechanically, then this is a great choice. This beautiful machine will be gently packaged and handled with the utmost care and delivered to you by USPS Mail, which includes a tracking number.
