Description:
Spotted at the antique store I frequent. Pretty good shape, and attached to a base but no metal cover.
Once again, the price threw me for a loop!
$275!!!
Nice machine, but I can not imagine that they would get THAT much for it.
Update - I noticed that this machine DOES indeed have the metal cover to go with the base! However, I still do not see this machine bringing anywhere near the asking price... but still a nice machine.

I started collecting typewriters several years ago and it started with a late 1960s Smith-Corona Sterling portable that I got as a gift.
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.
