Order your typewriter today, and I will send you a beautiful specimen of this model in about 2 weeks.

It won’t be exactly the same as the models pictured, but it will be a working typewriter in comparable condition.

Remington Model 5 or Monarch Model 5 vintage portable typewriter in exquisite working condition.

This typewriter is arguably one of the more beautiful machines in history. It’s rounded, modernist design has held up well to time, and makes it one of the more sought after machine for vintage writing-machine connoisseurs.

Most are branding “Remington’ but a few ore ‘Monarch’. Most say ‘Remington 5’ while some say ‘Streamliner’. They’re all identical mechanically.

All pictures included are from machines that we’ve sold previously.

Features:

  • ‘Self starter’ key, which automatically advances the carriage 5 spaces. This is in lieu of a ‘tab’ setting.

  • Carriage Shift

  • Single or Double Line Spacing

  • Automatic Ribbon Reversal.

  • 2-tone Ribbon Selector.

  • Sturdy Hardshell case.

  • Attractive metal stamped rulers.

  • Classic metal ribbon spools.

  • End-of-line bell.

Variations:

The machines come in gloss or matte, with chrome-rimmed or black-rimmed keys, and accent keys are sometimes red.

The margin rulers are sometimes black, sometimes red.

Includes:

  • Ships with a new, 2 tone ribbon wound onto the original metal spools.

  • I’ll include a digital copy of the original manual.

  • Classic Typewriter Guarantee

  • Lifetime Trade In Policy.

Comes cleaned, adjusted, oiled, and ready to write!

Our process: we replace the rubber on the platens, we just make sure they work, and sand or resurface them as needed. We often replace the feet or the rollers, as needed.

Item ships in about 2 weeks.

Please let us know if you have additional questions.

Sincerely,
