Ian Fleming’s Remington Remette Typewriter

Ian Fleming’s Remington Remette Typewriter, Canada, 1930s-1940s

A Remington to Remember - Ian Fleming gave this portable WWII-era typewriter to British MI6 agent Prudence Mason as encouragement to write her memoirs. Her equally daring husband’s clandestine wartime exploits allegedly inspired some of James Bond’s adventures.
