In 1919, to compete with Corona portables, Underwood released their first portable typewriter. It had three rows of keys, just like the Corona No. 3. However, there was no need for a folding carriage on Underwood's portable. This three-bank machine was produced until 1929, when over 200000 machines were manufactured.
My Underwood Standard Portable (Three Bank Keyboard) is an earlier version. Later machines also have a shift key on the right side of the keyboard. Even earlier machines than this have less of a curve in the typebars resting in the type basket.

In 1926, Underwood released a four-bank portable, beginning a new line of serial numbers and future models. By this time, Remington, Corona, and Royal all had four-bank portables on the market. The coition did not seem to hinder the success of the Underwood machine, though; over 1000000 machines using essentially the same design were produced for over 30 years.
My Underwood Standard Portable (Four Bank Keyboard) has the serial number 4B97305. The Underwood Junior is a downgraded,depression-era version of the Four Bank Standard Portable lacking extra features, such as a backspacer.
A basic Underwood portable released in 1926 is the Underwood Leader.

The Underwood Universal is an upgraded Underwood Leader; it introduced touch control and a ribbon selector. My Underwood Universal has the serial number F1190952.The 'F' prefix on the serial number is why some of these machines are known as 'F-Model' portables.
The Underwood Champion is an upgraded Universal in the fact that it has a tabulator. It was introduced in 1934.
In 1949, the Underwood Finger-Flite Champion and Underwood De Luxe were introduced. The De Luxe was the same as the Finger-Flite Champion with paper supports, a metered paper guide, and a variable line spacer.
In 1949, another Underwood portable body style was introduced. The Underwood Star and Underwood Leader were the basic models, with the Underwood Star having a monotone color scheme. My Underwood Leader has a light brown top cover and dark brown frame. The Underwood Jewell was an upgraded model with a ribbon selector and paper bail. It is also found under the name Hideaway. The Underwood Correspondent had margin sets visible through the paper table. The Underwood Ace combined all features of the models previously listed, and added key-set tabulator.
