Remington Noiseless – H101569 (1947)
This may be my favorite machine for practical typing use. It has the same styling as the pre-war models, but it has that extra manufacturing quality that many post-war items seem to have. I think manufacturers learned a lot making all of that war materiel. If only it came with that glossy black lacquer finish [...]
Underwood Noiseless 77 – 1608039 (post war)
This is the post-war version of the Noiseless made by Remington for Underwood. It’s the same as a Remington Model Seven. This one is serial number 1608039, but serial numbers on these Underwoods are useless for dating.
Remington Deluxe Noiseless – ND170170 (1940?)

Remington Noiseless N115247 (1937)
This one is a pre-war Remington Noiseless portable made in 1937. It’s a bit less fancy than the Model 7s, the paper tray is smaller and the carriage return/line fee is a folding, upright lever rather than the longer horizontal bar. This example is the black lacquer finish and it has pica type.
