The company was renamed the Remington Typewriter Company in the early 1900s. Some of its first iterations were the Remington No. 1 Typewriter, a version of which sold for thousands of dollars at auction. The price of Remington typewriters varies, but you can still make a few hundred dollars if your typewriter is in good condition and attracts a collector.
