I am happy to see that a number of quiz regulars here understood what I was asking and did so well. So we are up to 57 as follows,dropping duplicates that were posted second in the timeline:
1 = ((5+3)-7)*1 given by me

If I understand the Q 
3 = (7+5)/(3+1) ???
4 = (7+5)/(3*1) ???
5 = (7+3-5)*1 ???
6 = (7+5)/(3-1) ???
7 = 3*5-1-7 ???
8 = (5+7)-(3+1)
9 = (5+7)-(3*1)
10 = (5+7)-(3-1) |

13 = ((5!)/(7+3))+1
14 = 7-1+3+5
15 = 1*3+5+7
16 = 1+3+5+7
17 = 3*7+1-5
18 = (3!)+7+5^1
19 = (3!)+7+5+1
20 = 3*7-1^5

33 = 5*7-3+1
34 = (5-1)!+7+3
35 = 7!/5!-3!-1
36 = 3! * (7-5+1)!
37 = 5*(7+1)-3
38 = 7!/5!-3-1
39 = 7!/5!-(3/1)
40 = 7!/5!-3+1

45 = (7+3-1)*5
46 = 7!/5!+3+1
47 = 7!/5!+3!-1
48 = (7+1)*(5+3)  meant (7-1) there Paul?
49 = 7!/5!+3!+1
50 = 1*5*(7+3) |

So eliminating duplicates, and disallowing pdurrant's one miscalculation we have:
SneakySnake: = 14
Daithi = 10
Bilbo1967 = 9
pdurrant = 21
I have to be out until tonight so I declare pdurrant the winner.
