An iconic piece of early 20th-century American office technology, this Underwood No. 5 desktop typewriter features a classic cast iron frame with a glossy black enamel finish, gold decal branding, and original glass-topped keys. Manufactured by the Underwood Typewriter Company in Hartford, Connecticut, this front-strike, visible-writing machine revolutionized modern business typing. Visual inspection indicates the typewriter is complete and structurally sound; the keys exhibit movement and advance properly, though a notable layer of surface grime, dust, and light spot oxidation are present throughout, consistent with age and storage, yielding an even aged patina. H 9", W 14", D 13". Please see photos for condition.
