1940 Woodstock 5 Serial # N556598 1940 Woodstock 5 typewriter, Serial # N556598 Gerald Ambrose's 1940 Woodstock 5 typewriter. 2024-10-19 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Gerald Ambrose: 1940 Woodstock 5 Serial # N556598 Found this sturdy and well used machine on a walk through of an antique store and determined that it had to come home. It needed a fair bit of adjustment but now it types and writes well. It is going to need a new platen as the current one has become detached from the wood core but, it’s still nice to type on from time to time.
More pictures and a type sample to follow.

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 Woodstock 5 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Woodstock Serial Number page and the Woodstock 5 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
