When typewriters shed their business attire in the 1950s, there was an explosion of color which made 50s era machines famous. Sometimes, the colors were tasteless.

The Universal, on the other hand, is gorgeous. The white and teal, like it’s sibling Ace… and like a baltic sea against the sky.

The 1950s Underwoods truly captured post-war America's embrace of vibrant design.T

hese machines featured eye-catching shells paired with distinctive design elements. The colorful shells came housed in equally stylish plaid and black carrying cases that reflected the period's fashion-forward sensibilities.

Manufactured by the Underwood Typewriter Company at their Hartford, Connecticut facility, these machines maintained the solid construction quality that had made Underwood dominant in the typewriter industry. The 1950s Universal retained all the functional excellence of its predecessors while embracing the decade's aesthetic revolution, making it both a capable writing instrument and a statement piece that embodied the era's belief in progress, style, and individual expression.

With a lovely 2 toned tweed and greenish case.
