Machine à écrire Underwood début XX siècle - Typewriter - Set of 1

Splendid mechanical typewriter from the early 20th century by the legendary brand: Underwood. Rare item. Very well-kept. For writing enthusiasts and experts. The mechanics should be restored if you would like to write your masterpiece on it. Underwood operated from 1895 until 1932 and maintained the best in both design and performance throughout this time. Underwood made its mark in the history of typewriters by defining the standards, norms, and design style. Thanks to the cinematic invented by Franz X. Wagner, Underwood was in fact the first typewriter to guarantee perfectly readable writing. This typewriter was a journalist’s dream since it was quite practical with a bar better suited to fast typing, and its forward running mechanism which allows what has been written to be seen without raising the carriage. The keyboard is arranged in four rows of keys and has an ingenious single key to capitalize the letters.
