The history of Blickensderfer Typewriters of Stamford, Connecticut, from 1890s through the 1910s.
George Blickensderfer's innovation in typing had an impact around the world. With an advanced keyboard to improve typing efficiency, interchangable type wheels and a the world's first electric typewriter, the Blickensderfer typewriter was a huge success in the US and throughout the world! Portability was unequaled, with this early laptop weighing in at 5 pounds! 'The Blick' as it was known around the world, enabled quality, type-written documents while on-the-go. The Blick was able to type with different language character sets as well as professional type sets, such as for scientists or pharmacists. George Blickensderfer also patented the world's first electric typewriter in 1900.
Blickensderfer Typewriters enjoyed three decades of global success, but sadly, the company never recovered from the death of George Blickensderfer in 1917, and the factory closed in 1919.
But, Stamford continues to thrive less than an hour from Manhattan, as a global center for finance with a booming downtown nightlife and a scenic New England waterfront! AND, a rich history of innovation in the early Industrial Revolution!
