Description:
You know when you get bogged down in a troublesome project, and you hang in there knowing it will all work out and be a solid typer? When it is an Underwood from the 50s, even if you get there, it is still just a 20s-era four-bank wrapped in a curvy skin.
These 50s-era portables always reveal why Underwood was poised to be the first of the big boys to go belly up.

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