Description:
I found this in a little shop in Natick, Massachusetts in 2017. New platen rubber in 2022. This machine was probably rebuilt in the 1930s with new paint and decals on top of the originals.

My name is Chris, I live in Massachusetts, I'm 45 years old and I like to type. I collect mostly German typewriters from before 1945.
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.
