Vintage Underwood No. 5, serial number 3844565-II. Great looking example, direct from a local estate and being sold as found.
Very good condition. Cosmetically pretty strong, no cracks, no break, no bends, no dents or signs of abuse. Black finish is good but has typical patina, signs of age, small corner or edge rubs, minor scuffs. Keys are all intact and free of loss, signs of age, discoloration and patina. Uncleaned, the interior/works show expected dust and residue, but do not see any damage or wear. The chrome/metal pieces do show some surface corrosion or pitting. Rubber feet are present. Appears to be in original condition, unmodified, no repairs visible.
This is not currently \"working\". When you strike a key it fires nicely, however the typewriter does not advance it forward. Same is true of the space bar, seems to be functional otherwise. All of the letter/number keys do strike as they should, the back space key does work, shift key seems to work, can easily be slid right to left, bell dings nicely. Original ribbon is still on there and winding easily.All the levers, the tab settings, roll bar etc. seem to move freely and easily. This is a true estate find, sat in a closet for a very long time and being sold as found.
Please study photos and send any questions.
About 16\" wide, 13\" deep and 9.75\" tall. Weighs about 29 pounds.Buyer to pay actual shipping costs, careful packaging and insurance included.THANKS FOR LOOKING!!!
