Remington Deluxe Noiseless – ND170170 (1940?)
This is a Remington Deluxe Noiseless typewriter. It’s supposed to be pre-war and essentially a Model 7 with a smaller paper table. It has the standard, wrinkled paint finish one would expect.

This example is the black lacquer finish and it has pica type.

The mechanism is adjusted for the typebars to strike like a normal typewriter does – the weights that [...]
