Our restoration of a Remie Scout Typewriter from the 1930s. These Depression Era portables were sold under many names, such as Monarch, Canadian Pioneer, or simply Pioneer, as seen in our case. But these were all rebranded variations of the well known Remington Typewriter Co. This particular typewriter was sold as a children’s model because of its simplicity, compactness, and lack of additional features e.g. an all-caps typeface and open frame.
From the serial number ‘S16338’ it was made in March of 1932 and was produced in Buffalo, New York per the back panel. Advertising of the time described it as “would be a fine gift for a student” and was originally sold for $19.75
The equivalent of $398.73 today!
To bring it back to its original condition the restoration required disassembly, general cleaning, rust removal with Evaporust, rubber replacements, and lots of polishing!
Thank you, Alan Seaver and Phoenix Typewriter for the great resources that were put together and used for the research in this video.
Thanks for watching!
