The Wagner typewriter was invented by Herman Lewis & Franz Xavier Wagner. It was first developed ca.1892. The Wagner design was a breakthrough within the typewriter industry so when John Underwood, owner of J. Underwood & Co., had the opportunity to purchase the rights through a 3rd party, he did. Under John's leadership, the Wagner morphed into the Underwood Standard and J. Underwood & Co. became the Underwood Typewriter Co. The rest, as they say, is history.
