Remington MK1 Torpedo 18B Typewriter Techno Font Wide Carriage. Condition is Used.The iconic Torpedo typewriter is renowned for being possibly the fastest manual typewriter ever made. In fact, the brand gained great publicity when Hanns Freiss placed first in an international typing competition using a Torpedo machine.Snappy is the word collectors & connoisseurs use to describe the Torpedo’s incredible action. But know that this typer is much more than fast: its an overbuilt German w...orkhorse with fantastic touch—designed to take anything you could possibly throw at it. This one is in very good condition.For once, ‘rare’ is a word that truly fits here: you just don’t see many Torpedo 18Bs with the Remington label. Furthermore, the techno font, rare on any machine, is unheard of with Torpedoes. You won’t find another anywhere, including Germany. Add the wide carriage & this thing is truly a unicorn (actually, likely a one-off).(Shipping will be higher than usual due to the wide carriage)Thanks
