As a little boy in the sixties, my parents had an old Model 5 and I learned as a child on it. I own a restored 1940 Underwood Master today and the internals are the same. Unfortunately, it has Art Deco panels covering the sides so I can't see that miraculous mechanism. Thanks for sharing!
It just sounds so solid... the oldest one I have is my grandfather's 1923 L.C. Smith & Bros desktop. Still runs super smooth and is probably the most reliable one I have in my collection.
Hi I have an Underwood typewriter that with a red badge on the front showing Underwood Elliot Fisher Limited Toronto Canada on it. I am looking for help identifying the make model and year it was manufactured. Would you be able to help me out? thanks in advance
I would be yes. If it is a standard sized carriage with a full-keyboard, it'd likely be a No.5. If it has fewer keys, it's No.4, and if it has a wider than normal carriage, it's a No.3.
Hi I sent you an email to your website as well. Let's communicate that way. I have done some research on line based on a side markings and this typewriter was rebuilt in Canada between 1943 and 1944 due to the war Same thing happened in the US.
Now that is the typewriter that I would love to have. The only problem is that there is no number 1 key. I have seen one with a number 1 key but not on others. Why is it that the number 1 key was not on typewriters?
Because in order to allow for more characters to be included on the keyboard, it was teached that you could use lower case "L" for the 1. And since most often the type-print makes it looks the same, it works.
I had my typewriting lower grade and higher grade exam. pass in the years 1962 and 1963 at age of 17 and 18 respectively. Thanks to Underwood typewriters of Champion Institute of Commerce, Kochi.
Please, I recently purchased a #4 with no idea what I was buying. What is so special about #4's. I can't find any info on them ... it's all about the #5, not that that's a bad thing.
Hi DrTyewriter, nice videos!, one question: which typewriter is your favorite in terms of feelings? I mean, if you had to write a hole book in one of them, which one you will choose? Mechanical models of course.
The best I can do is a few. ;-) There is too many to list. However, I love the Royal Standard line, older or new, those would be at the top of my list. Then Commodore 2200's are great, as well as their equivalents, and Olympia standards. SG1, SG3.
In modern times you mean? Don't really understand the comment since these machines were all you could turn to besides pen and paper before computers came. And if you mean in modern times, att the moment I am completing this year's first semester final project for my 4th year at university (media studies bachelor!!) on a 1927 Royal No.10.
Bob Usualis why do you hate on machines that can outlive people such as yourself? Not everything has to be edited. People with typewriters are much more creative in their writing than those that use a computer. Their is no beauty in a computer. It is digital and non-physical. Have you ever used a typewriter? I bet you haven’t. You will feel more connected to one if you use one. You cannot hack a typewriter. Fact. Why judge someone else’s hobby when you have no room to speak? Friend, maybe you should rethink what you have responded with to the creator of this video, because you, have just been jammed.
Typewriters today are like the horse and buggy of yesteryear. Its a old technology but in the long run will outlast yourself and your grandkids if properly maintained. I have a mint original no 5 and a user no 5. the user is beat to hell appearance wise due to daily use the last 40 years, but the internals are near perfect. I would love to see a computer that can be used for 40 years and when it boots up not be slow as hell.

This is amazing! We, the FiloVeritas, love the typewriters! Greethings from Brasil! (Or Brazil)
I will always bond with these machines. Greetings from Canada.
I'm watching other videos, but it seems that each typewriter has a different sound of bells and has a personality. :)

There is a reason they are still around in the 21st Century, and that's mainly it. They are great machines.
WONDERFUL machine 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
was this one of the models without a backspace?
I think I have this typewriter I'm not sure tho, it a little damaged should I fix it? If anything can you help me identify it
Это прекрасно! 👍

When you look at typing your fingers look like they're dancing :)
タイピングを見ると、指がダンスしているように見えますね。
He came three weeks ago... :)

The No.4 is a vastly more rare example to find these days. Such as the No.6 that we found a couple of years ago.

Дорогой автор видео! спасибо! твой видос был полезен для меня! береги машинку
People with typewriters type nonsensical material

DR. TYPEWRITER - Venneburg Typewriters must be a poorly edited run on sentence
