Thanks guys! Good to know about the ribbon. I figured it could take standard sizes but I wasn't quite sure. Hoping to get the model name just out of curiosity, but for all practical purposes my goal has been achieved. It's been a shame to let this guy sit aside, well oiled and working, for a lack of ribbon.

Antique Questions Forum / Need help identifying Remington Rand typewriter

Hey guys! I have been trying to find the model name of this Remington for a while, and I stumbled upon your site and thought I'd try posting. Hopefully you can help me identify it. The serial number is J1794820, located on the right hand side on a piece of metal under the platen, and I can't find out anything about it. None of the serial number searches have turned anything up. The only other markings, aside from that very 1950s type on the front, is a similar typeface on the back that says "Remington Rand", printed on and smudged. It appears to be similar to the Super-Riter model, but it's much smaller and a little curvier. And clearly, a different colour. The entire thing is a deep charcoal grey, and the surface of the body is actually kind of textured. I have no case or manual for this thing, as I picked it up at a garage sale, and I was hoping to find the proper ribbon for it.



Thanks for your time!
