The Underwood Number 5 Typewriter
Most Famous Typewriter ever Built
The Background
This Amazing machine is Manufactured in 1916 under the Serial 873XXX
Decals are Mint and to make things better, they are different than those used in the Era after 1923.
"When most people think "old typewriter," they picture something much like the Underwood No. 5. Why? Because this is the most successful typewriter design in history. Appearing shortly before 1900, the Underwood established the stereotype of a typewriter until the introduction of the IBM Selectric in 1961. When the Underwood was first introduced, it was only one of hundreds of competing and extremely varied typewriter designs. But by 1920, almost every typewriter imitated the Underwood." Richard Polt.
