Remington Smith Premier Manual Typewriter No 10
























In 1908 Smith Premier launched a new model, the SP10 that was the only full-keyboard frontstrike typewriter ever built. The SP10 was the last of the 'real' Smith Premiers. After the demise of the company, the brand name was bought by the Remington Typewriter Company that continued to launch regular office machines and portables with the name Smith Premier for many years

1903 Smith Premier factory, Syracuse, New York. This is the "new" Smith Premier factory, constructed just at the time the four Smith brothers left the company to form a new one. This plant opened to build the Smith Premier upstrike machines, which it did through the end of their production; the manufacture of all Smith Premier No. 10 "visible" machines also took place here from inception in 1908 to the end in about 1921. During this time the REMINGTON JUNIOR was also built here. In 1921, the tooling for the Monarch-pattern machine was removed from Remington's Ilion, New York plant and was shipped to this Smith Premier plant where the machine was placed back in production carrying the Smith Premier name.
