Description:
UNDERWOOD STANDARD TYPEWRITER No. 5 (early model)
The typewriter is well preserved considering it is over 123 years old. Writes without any problems and it is still fully functional.
Almost all of the decals have been well preserved
Manufactured by Wagner Typewriter Company in 1902 (sn.11164)
Interesting fact about this typewriter is that it was produced in the first two years of production of the No. 5 model, one of the most recognizable typewriter models.
Low serial number (11164 of more than 3 milion No.5 produced)

I like collecting typewriters and repairing them. I currently have 7 typewriters in my collection, mainly from before WW2.
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.
