Questions About 1950s Typewriter
- 1stDibs ExpertMay 5, 2023The typewriter was invented in 1867. However, the inventors Christopher Latham Sholes, Carlos Glidden and Samuel W. Soule didn’t receive a patent until 1868. In 1873, their design went into production and hit the markets. These early typewriters were usually mounted on sewing machine stands. On 1stDibs, find a collection of typewriters.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Remington was interested in the Sholes and Glidden typewriter, which was the first commercially successful typewriter, and contracted with them to make Remington typewriters, which were the first to use the QWERTY layout. While this was a success, the company decided to sell its typewriter business to Standard Typewriter Manufacturing Company. That company continued to use the Remington name until it changed to Remington Rand after a merger. In 1955 Remington Rand was purchased by Sperry Corporation but continued to produce typewriters until the Sperry merger with Burroughs in 1986. Shop a collection of vintage and antique typewriters from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
- Did Hermes make typewriters?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Not to be confused with luxury French fashion house Hermès Paris, Hermes typewriters were manufactured by Paillard-Bolex throughout the early 20th century. Hermes typewriters were initially a side project from the Swiss watch manufacturer looking to capitalize off the lucrative typewriting market. Shop a selection of vintage typewriters, including Hermes, on 1stDibs.
- How does a typewriter desk work?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertMarch 3, 2023A typewriter desk works due to its unique design. Although pieces vary, most have a special storage area that sits at a comfortable level for typing. On many desks, a sliding door covers this compartment to keep the typewriter hidden from sight and free of dust. Shop a range of typewriter desks on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 5, 2021A vintage typewriter could cost you at least $400 to $500. The value can go much higher, depending on the style, its condition and much more. You can find a range of vintage typewriters on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Yes. While the gem has always been a mainstay in jewelry, there was a boom in demand for pearl pieces in the 1950s. The style at the time was black-and-white-chic, and pearls were an excellent accompaniment to pieces like the classic little black dress. Shop a collection of expertly vetted pearl jewelry from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertJune 30, 2023Some popular watches for men during the 1950s were the Rolex Submariner, the Enicar Sherpa Dive, the Breitling Navitimer, Omega, Constellation and the Rolex GMT-Master. Rolex, Timex, Orvin, Tower and Elgin were among the top watchmakers for women during the decade. On 1stDibs, find a collection of antique, vintage and contemporary watches.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 21, 2024The clothing style in the 1950s was well tailored and classic. For women, dresses with padded busts, cinched waists and hips, and full circle skirts were popular, and the collared button-up shirt dress came into fashion during the decade. Men tended to wear suits in neutral gray, dark blue and brown colors made out of easy-to-care-for synthetic fabrics. Straight-cut double-breasted blazers were commonly worn for casual occasions. On 1stDibs, explore a variety of vintage clothing from the 1950s.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 21, 2023In the 1950s, several diamond cuts were popular. They included the brilliant round cut, the Asscher cut, the emerald cut and the marquise cut. Rings that featured a large central stone flanked by smaller baguettes were also trendy during the decade. Find a collection of vintage diamond jewelry on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 6, 2023There were a few popular diamond cuts in the 1950s. One was the brilliant round cut, which is still common today due to its simple shape and prominent sparkle. Other favorite cuts of the decade included the Asscher cut, the emerald cut and the marquise cut. On 1stDibs, explore a large selection of engagement rings.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 27, 2023In the 1950s, a Chanel bag was priced between $200 and $300. The iconic Chanel 2.55 bag cost $220 when first introduced in February 1955. Accounting for inflation, that works out to around $2,536 in today's money. On 1stDibs, find a diverse assortment of Chanel bags from some of the world's top boutiques.
