In 1944, typewriters cost $35 to produce and sold for $115.50, according to MyTypewriter.com. Because most transactions included trade-ins, only about a third of consumers paid the full list price. Compare the 1944 cost to the $60 to $100 retail average of the late 1800's and the $99 to $699 range today.
