In a shiny, classic black color, this typewriter is a great writing machine. It is model "Universal" of the popular Underwood brand, this one was made in 1936. With a 4-bank keyboard (qwerty).
Do not miss a chance to own a great piece of history. We do not often work on pre-1940 portables, and this one is in excellent condition.
This machine's mechanics work incredibly smoothly and all is fully functional. The paint of the typewriter is original, as well as all parts. Very well preserved. Fully professionally serviced, meaning this machine is clean, all 2800+ parts cleaned by hand, aligned and fine tuned as it was back in the day in the factory.
