I’m not sure about that date; the WL serial numbers may not match the regular Underwood sequence. You can compare it to Underwoods of various ages here:

It does not have the ribbon (see/saw) of the 1911 image (but the left side open frame without a crank that is on the 1901 does match). So before 1911 but after 1901. My understanding is that the ribbon see/saw started in 1909.
Nice typewriter. I’ve never seen one with the red front before. I really like the all caps typeface. I wonder when W.U. changed to the slashed zero.
So cool!!!
