Standards
| Name | Date Range | Description & Rarity | - |
|---|---|---|---|
| Remington Standard No. 1/ Sholes & Glidden | 1880-1886 | The Remington Standard No. 1/ Sholes & Glidden Typewriter is recognized as the first commercially successful typewriter. It was prototyped by Christopher Latham Sholes in Milwaukee in the late 1870's, and was presented to Remington Arms Co. for manufactering. At first, it was more of a novelty, but it set the precedent of what a typewriter should look like, and began the long legacy of the QWERTY keyboard. These machines are generally considered very rare, but they are around. | - |
| Remington Standard No. 2, No. 3, & No.4 | 1880-1886 | The Remington Standard No. 2 is the improved version of the No. 1. These machines are much less ornate and a bit more refined, featuring a shift key allowing the operator to type in capital and lowercase letters. The Remington Standard No. 3 is a wide carriage model of the No. 2, but was only developed as a prototype and never widely manufactured. The Remington Standard No. 4 is the economy model of the No. 2. It is basically the same machine without any shift keys. | - |
| Remington Standard No. 5 | 1886-1898 | The Remington Standard No. 5 is the version of the Remington Standard No. 3 built for the European market. It has a slightly shorter carriage, and a bell located on the front of the typewriter instead of on the back. | - |
| Remington Standard No. 6, No.7, No.8, & No.9 | 1894-1914 | The Remington Standards No. 6, 7, & 8 are the most widely available Remington upstrike typewriters available today. The Remington Standard No. 6 is the improved version of the No. 5, the 7 is a version of the 6 with more keys, and the 8 is the wide carriage version of the 7. The No. 9 is a 7 with a decimal tabulator. | - |
| Remington Standard No. 10 | 1908-1923 | The Remington Standard No. 10 is the first visible frontstroke Remington typewriter available on the market. They are relatively common. | - |
| Remington Standard No. 11, No. 12, No. 20, No. 30, No. 31, No. 92 | 1922- | The No. 11 is a 10 with a decimal tabulator, the No. 12 is an improved 10 with covers over the sides, the 20 is the "Remington Special", the 30 is a 12 with a decimal tab, the 31 is a 12 with an extended decimal tab and extra keys, and we don't know what makes the 92 special | - |
| Remington 16 | 1931-1943 | The Remington 16 is the successor to the 12 and all it's derivatives. These machines are fairly common. | - |
| Remington 17/KMC | 1939-1950 | The Remington KMC is the 1940's redesign of the Remington Standard. Crinkle paint came into style and was used to full effect, and keyboard set margins (hence the acronym "KMC") were introduced to simplify the setting of margins on the machine. These machines are fairly common. | - |
| Remington Super Riter | 1950-1965 | This is the second major shell redesign of the Remington Standard Typewriter. These machines introduced plastic keys, a new curvy shell style, and a green color theme. These machines are fairly common. | - |
