Description:
When I accidentally discovered and acquired the Underwood No. 1 typewriter, I thought the Model 5 would no longer be in my collection. Then you discover this beauty... I assume it's a reaction to the Stoewer typewriter stickers. But the medal from the 1904 Saint Louis Universal Exposition has incorrectly listed the country name United States of AMERICA, but AMERIKA .

Historical typewriters, cameras, sewing machines, ... - all beautiful things, that work only on the basis of human skill and ability. Therefore, they deserve our attention and respect. I do not want to let those inventions that pushed us forward much faster than we were prepared, them disappear in this way.
Lives in Michalovce, Slovakia. Proud father of two children. Started collecting in March 2020. More a hunter than a collector or restorer. But determined to change it and bring the machines to a new life. Thank you in advance for any of your advice and help. (English is not my strong side, so I use Uncle Google's help. Correct me anytime).
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.
