Here is an instruction booklet for Underwood Typewriters models 3, 4, and 5. Undated, but likely c1905-1910.When most people think "old typewriter," they picture something much like the Underwood No. 5. Why? Because this is the most successful typewriter design in history. Appearing shortly before 1900, the Underwood established the stereotype of a typewriter until the introduction of the IBM Selectric in 1961. When the Underwood was first introduced, it was only one of hundreds of competing and extremely varied typewriter designs. But by 1920, almost every typewriter imitated the Underwood. The scarcest and most valuable Underwood’s are the No. 1 and No. 2. About 12,000 of these were made between 1896 and 1900. Underwood Models 3, 4, and 5 were made from late 1900 until late 1931 or early 1932. Model 4 is pictured throughout the booklet. 6” x 9” and 16 pages. Some cover soiling and fading, otherwise good.
