Remington Arms / Sewing / 19th Century Remington Sewing Machines, Ilion, NY:
Remington
Arms Company, LLC is an American manufacturer of firearms and
ammunition in the United States. It was founded in 1816 by Eliphalet
Remington in Ilion, New York, as E. Remington and Sons. Remington is
America's oldest gun maker and "It's America's oldest factory that still
makes its original product-guns."
Remington Sewing Machines & / Remington Typewriters
The
origins of the "Remington" name date back to the formation of E.
Remington and Sons, a firearms maker founded in 1816. E. Remington &
Sons made occasional forays into products other than firearms, such as
sewing machines and farm implements — but its most significant side
venture was when inventor Christopher Sholes persuaded the firearms
company to help him develop the typewriter with the QWERTY keyboard,
which is still the standard today.
The Empire Sewing Machine
Company sold out to Remington in 1870, their best year. That year they
produced 8,702 sewing machines. The company became the Remington Empire
Sewing Machine Company from 1870-1873 then the Remington Sewing Machine
Agency from 1874-1902.
Remington sold there basic model with
many extras and additions. You could have a basic treadle or one with
drawers down one side or both. If you were wealthy or had a nice rich
aunt you could go for the super-deluxe walnut enclosed cabinet costing
nearly double the basic machine price.
Most Remington machines from 1870 were marked with a circular Remington badge in the middle of the sewing bed of the machine.
Advertised
as the machine with no equal the Remington machines sold in their
thousands. The company had the benefit of their quality name in firearms
to help sell their sewing machines.
In 1886, E. Remington &
Sons sold the typewriter company, which became Remington Typewriter
Company. This in turn merged with the Rand Kardex Corporation in 1927 to
become Remington Rand. Remington Rand branched out into making adding
machines, filing cabinets, punched card tabulating machines, and other
office equipment to become a leading office equipment company.
