HISTORICAL BACKGROUND: THE REMINGTON STANDARD NO. 11
The Remington Standard No. 11 was introduced in the early 20th century as a commercial desktop typewriter, developed from the earlier Remington Standard No. 10.
One of its distinguishing features was its decimal tabulator, which allowed typists to align columns of numbers efficiently for bookkeeping, accounting, and other commercial applications. This specialized feature made the No. 11 particularly useful in the business offices of its era.
The machine features a visible front-strike typing mechanism, allowing the operator to see the text as it was being typed, along with a traditional QWERTY keyboard and a substantial metal frame designed for regular office use.
Historical records indicate that the Remington Standard No. 11 remained in production until 1926. Surviving examples are now collected by enthusiasts of antique typewriters and early office technology.
The historical significance of this particular model is reflected in its preservation in museum collections, including The Henry Ford Museum and the Chimei Museum in Taiwan.
This example retains its original Remington branding and H. Homuth dealer identification plates, adding to its distinctive historical character.
