Description
Underwood Models 3, 4, and 5 were made from late 1900 until late 1931 or early 1932. The No. 5 types have 84 characters. The No. 5 was the most famous Underwood. Millions of these machines were used by secretaries, journalists, government officials, and writers throughout the first half of the twentieth century. Later Underwood's were superficially modernized, but retained the same basic mechanism. The name "No. 5" was even given to some of these later typewriters, in honor of the model that made the company's fortune. The company was eventually bought by Olivetti, and in the early 1960s, the name "Underwood" finally disappeared from the typewriter world. This will be a heavy piece to ship and will require an outside shipper.
