Re: New contest: identify Langston Hughes' typewriter

Given his age in the photo, I'd guess it's a Remington Portable #2. Of course it could also be a Scout or a Monarch, or any number of other Remington portables, but the necessary detail to determine which model it exactly is just isn't available in that photo.


The pronoun has always been capitalized in the English language for more than 700 years.

It's a Remington Portable of some variation. That's about all you can say.
