    The Remington 2 was the “Model T” of typewriters: simple, reliable, practical and was the first typewriter to be produced in great quantity. It introduced the world to typewriters and laid the path for the explosion in typewriter design and manufacturing that was just around the corner.

    The Remington 2 appeared on the market in 1878 and was first typewriter to have a shift key, giving two characters for each key. The machine pictured here, dates from 1893 to 1894.

    The Remington 2, like its predecessor the Remington 1 or 'Sholes and Glidden', is an understrike or blind typewriter. To see what you have typed, one lifts up the hinged carriage and looks at the underside of the platen.
