What a...A very interesting post as always, Robert!<br /><br />What a beautiful machine is that Rem-Sho. I couldn't help notice the (unintentional?) similarity in architecture with several Remington desktop models, particularly the models 10, 12 and even the 16. Except for the fact that it is a blind typewriter, the shape of the case, the location of the ribbon spools, the ribbon advance mechanism, and the overall layout of the machine reminds me a lot of my trusty Remington 12, with the side panels removed and the frame adorned with Art Nouveau motifs. <br /><br />Now I wonder how a Remington 12 in RemSho disguise would look like... It would be a matter of taking apart the machine, sandblasting the frame, molding the ornaments with epoxy, dust-painting a dark shade of copper, and putting the whole shebang together again... easy cake...
