The zipper, officially patented in 1893 as the "clasp locker," did not exist for most of the 1800s and did not become widely used until the 20th century. Therefore, detailing a specific cost for zippers in the 1800s is not feasible due to the lack of commercial availability and adoption during that period. ;

In the 1800s, specifically around 1893 when the zipper was patented, it cost approximately 32 cents. The zipper changed how clothing was made by replacing slower fastening methods like buttons and hooks. Its invention marked a significant advancement in fashion and textile manufacturing.
