Description: This listing is for 3 varieties of sets of 4 premium replacement typewriter feet which *I think* will fit all Woodstock #5 and #5N typewriters. This spans very many different years of production, so it is possible other variations exist, please look at my photos and dimensions and you should recognize if something seems different--in that case, please contact me to work with you to figure this out.I have identified 3 types of Woodstock feet identified:#1: round, generally on the earlier machines, but no clear pattern#2: rectangular, generally on later machines#3: rectangular, on final "curvy" model (with closed, sleek body), asymmetrical with screw notches on the inside, ~1942+ (fully enclosed, print ad says "Deluxe Woodstock, new case"Summarizing the options in this listing: Early Models: "Woodstock #5 Round", 22mm diameter, 19mm high, on the customer machine no covers at all, and probably a round washer, with a screw for mounting. These feet were designed to fit the customer's Woodstock #5 machine. From scanning TWDB, I see that Woodstock 3, 4, 6, 7, and 8 machines also use round feet, but I have no idea if these feet will fit those machines, I would love to work with anyone who has such a machine to confirm this or make another foot variation to fit them, please reach out to me! Woodstock 5N machines also use round or rectangular feet, but again don't know if these feet will fit those machines, please reach out with any questions. Mid-Models: "Woodstock #5 Rectangular odd cutout", 30mm x 37mm x 19mm, which use narrow/rectangular metal foot covers and a round washer, and a screw for mounting. Please examine the photos carefully to find a match to your machine. These were designed to fit a customer's machine as shown. Final-Models: "Woodstock #5 Last Model rectangular", 46mm x 32mm x 14mm, which use large rectangular metal foot covers (usually glossy black) and a rectangular washer, and a screw for mounting. Please examine the photos carefully to find a match to your machine. These were designed to fit a customer's machine as shown. These aged typewriters originally had rubber feet that by now may be squashed or have the properties resembling chewing gum under a desk, which is the problem with using rubber (think old eraser). Even if they look ok, they probably have no traction at all, so the machine will slide around making typing difficult. They might even mark up your table, or the hardware will scratch it. Luckily, today we can make much improved feet using modern 3D Printing techniques and synthetic materials, I think they look and function better than the original rubber ever could have, and will hopefully last a lot longer! For the most part, if your machine and feet looks just like the photographs, they should fit. Note the dimensions of your foot, but in the case they are squashed flat this may be difficult. Please, please, I am happy to answer questions before you order, just message me if uncertain.I designed these to be nearly an identical replacement, but with the advantages of modern technology we can engineer materials that were previously impossible. I printed with NinjaFlex Black TPU (https://ninjatek.com/ninjaflex/), which is nearly indestructible in ordinary use (but a knife or scissors will cut it, just like rubber!), flexible, and very gripping on most surfaces. These look and function just like the original, but should last much longer and be far more durable. Some people may prefer the original dull rubber look, but I actually think these are a superior look to rubber, and the glossy sheen looks great accenting the dark grey of the machine. Rubber hardens within just a few years, these should not!Please ignore other's marketing claims that 3D printed feet have no grip, or that their feet are more "professional". Tune out anyone making baseless claims about "shore hardness". Look at my reviews, these are beautiful and amazing typewriter feet being bought by collectors and dealers alike, I'm regularly told my feet are the best.I designed these for my own typewriter as shown, and this is an experiment to see if it's worth my time to make more for the community. While you can certainly choose cheaper and lower quality poured rubber feet offered by others, this is a premium product for machines that need the best. They are made one at a time, and are priced based on the cost of each specific foot design, time and materials plus my labor.PS: Ebay's volume discount display is a bit confusing, each purchase is a SET OF FOUR feet, so picking "1" is one set of 4; "2" is 2 sets of 4 (8), etc.**PSS** Typewriters and mounting hardware shown in photos is for illustration and display only, and is NOT included in this listing!! This auction is for sets of 4 typewriter feet only**
