Description
Vintage 1939 Underwood “World Fair" Typewriter.
This is a special Underwood Master Champion typewriter - special because it is the exact model made famous at the 1939 World's Fair.
"In 1939 the Underwood Elliot Fisher Company produced the world's largest typewriter and promoted it at the World's Fair --
The 1939-40 New York World’s Fair was hosted in the Flushing Meadows Park in Queens. It was the first to be based on the future with the slogan “Dawn of a New Day.” An estimated 44 million people attended.
At the Underwood Elliott Fisher exhibit in the Business Systems Building an unusual item was on display – a typewriter. However, it was not any ordinary typewriter but rather it was The Giant Underwood Master Typewriter."
