1929 Underwood Portable 4 Bank Serial # 464940 1929 Underwood Portable 4 Bank typewriter, Serial # 464940 Ben Metzger's 1929 Underwood Portable 4 Bank typewriter. 2022-04-12 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Ben Metzger: 1929 Underwood Portable 4 Bank Serial # 464940 This one is interesting because of its "mandarin red" color, which was offered more widely with the introduction of the second generation of UW 4-banks in 1930. I suspect this one was painted red right as the factory was experimenting with colors for the upcoming launch of the updated 4-banks.

RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Underwood Portable 4 Bank on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Underwood Serial Number page and the Underwood Portable 4 Bank By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
