Here we are talking one foxy 1913 Underwood #5
in mint condition.
As a ninety-year old banger goes, this typer is
a one of a kind. Through no fault of the typer - I have added
new rubber, key board, ribbon, feet, etc. My thinking also is
that American Writing Machine Company of the Big Apple re-typed
this writer in or about 1930. The print is just too nice for
a banger this close to the century mark.
Now MrT understands that many Underwood #5 fans
have little or no interest in a working model, much less one
in mint condition - so $550.00 may be a bit out of their ball
park.
However for the rest of us.... they ain't making
them anymore. 
Now you better act fast because my thinking
is that soon after my webmaster - Wilson, or as I affectionately
refer to him as - "Fast Eddie", posts this old timer
- it will soon have a new home.
