Description:
I cleaned up and made minor repairs to this family heirloom, an Underwood 4 that has been in the same family for over a hundred years. It was bought secondhand in the 1920s by the owner's grandfather.

I'm a novice collector with a very small collection of mostly nonfunctional typewriters. I enjoy tinkering and repairs, so I am slowly but surely putting these typewriters back into service.
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.
