Description:
An interesting No. 5. Note the long return lever and huge bell. So do you think Underwood was falling behind
when someone is swapping in a longer lever from another machine or was someone actually making an aftermarket part to meet demand? Now about that bell......?

Typewriters are the perfect blend of using one's technical skills, history and functional purpose. My goal is type tested machines. My interests are not isolated to anyone area. For example, I am a big fan of Smith Corona electrics, mid century electrics and all things Royal.
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.
