1922 Underwood 5 Serial # 1548271 1922 Underwood 5 typewriter, Serial # 1548271 Chad Dorn's 1922 Underwood 5 typewriter. 2025-10-16 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Chad Dorn: 1922 Underwood 5 Serial # 1548271 Feb 1922 Underwood 5. The draw band broke while I was working on a type sample 😕

Finally fixed the draw band and the crooked letters. Top of the letters were getting cut off sometimes, so put a 9/16ths ribbon instead of 1/2, and that helped mostly. Gave this to my brother-in-law due to the connection with the Andy Griffith show.

I only have room for about nine typewriters, so I rotate things in and out.


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.
