Remington Paragon Standard Model 12 Desktop Typewriter, Made in USA, c.1920s
Here is a wonderful Remington Paragon Standard Model 12 desktop style stationary typewriter made in the United States sometime during the 1920s. There is not much information about the Paragon Series of model 12 typewriters from Remington, so it is difficult to pinpoint an exact date for this rare model. This typewriter is fully tested and functional and comes with a brand new black and red ink ribbon already installed (you can type in black or in red), so you will be ready to start typing when you receive it. This machine shows normal signs of wear and tear to be expected from a vintage typewriter including minor rust spots, some spots of discoloration on the paint, as well as some internal dust and residue. The typewriter sports lovely black and glass keys that type great.
Please see the last photo for a full type sample from this machine.
Serial #: BK8046OP
All typewriters sold by Memory Hole Vintage are fully functional and are sold with a brand new ink ribbon previously installed, unless otherwise noted. This means that all major functions work as expected and all keys type normally. As with most vintage typewriters, a key may stick or mistype occasionally, but that is to be expected of older machines. These typewriters have been cosmetically cleaned, but will include varying degrees of internal dust, scuffing, and other cosmetic imperfections. Please examine the photographs for a clear understanding of the machine you are buying. Happy typing!
