Description:
Excellent as found condition. Square feed rollers and shiny platen won't feed paper, otherwise it would type. Number made: 19,237.
==========================================
Feed rollers and a few other bits from a clipped Model 5 and she's good to go. Boy the sheet metal skin lets out an interesting cacophony of sound. The Deluxe has a longer carriage return lever, a left side platen knob and a larger paper table.
Note the ads on Dec 9 and Dec 11, 1941. In 1938 the msrp was $29.95 ($671) and you could get the super budget Monarch Pioneer for $19.95 ($448).

As with many, the bug is back there somewhere due to an Underwood No. 5. My grandparents had a No 5. My parents had a yellow Royal Safari that I used to index card everything, including a beer can collection. Collection syndrome clue! A casual interest in typewriters started with a garage sale 3 bank simply because it said Underwood on it. Typewriters were found here and there , but I wasn't actively looking for them. The long dormant collecting tic was activated when my neighbors left a Remington Quiet Riter on the curb when they moved.
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.
