Necklace Ñ (Blue/Remington)

This key belongs to a very Unique Remington Portable from the 1920´s. It was a very special typewriter because it held a mechanism in which you "pop-up" the typebars which are raised for use via a side lever and lay back flat for storage. The uniqueness of this specific one is the color of the keys: a beautiful cold blue that I have never seen in any other typewriter. 

It is a letter of the modern Latin Alphabet, formed by placing a tilde (also referred to as a virgulilla in Spanish) on top of an upper- or lower-case N. It became part of the Spanish Alphabet in the eighteenth century when it was first formally defined, but it has subsequently been used in other languages.
