Description:
This is one of the nicer Underwood 5s I've ever come across: purchased in South Jersey in December 2020. Manufactured in 1914, this machine was sold and serviced by Dobke Typewriter Exchange, which before WWI was at 40 Montgomery Street in Jersey City, NJ; directly across the Hudson River from Lower Manhattan.

RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Underwood 5 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Underwood Serial Number page and the Underwood 5 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
