Description:
At first I wasn’t going to list this one here, until I realized that if I didn’t, that would definitely ruin our chances of cataloging all four million of these that were made. So here it is. Totally rusted, though.
Note the decal at the spacebar:”Shipman Ward Mfg. Co. Chicago”, a rebuilder, probably. Hmmm, maybe I could fix it and add my own name...

While I find all of mankind's inventions interesting, I am most enchanted by the human-scale arts and devices, the ones that can be created (and repaired) in a home workshop or studio; the ones that can be understood by looking at them; the ones that do something useful or stir admiration. Typewriters work for me.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Underwood 4 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Underwood Serial Number page and the Underwood 4 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
