Description:

The elusive Q-X model. Sometimes sold as the Quiet model and at other times the Special. The standard X and Q-X were both available at the same time. The Q from mid to late 21 and through 22. The patents were filed in Sept 21. Beeching, often wrong, says it was "unsuccessful and withdrawn."

This was on SGW. I wonder if the buyer knows anything about it?

There was one one on the TWDB but upon further inspection was not a Q and has since been deleted. There is a 1927 model Q (link) but there is no evidence that a single window was offered this way. There is no insulated undercover or special feet on this one. One would need a close look at the typebar linkage to see if it is a match for a Q.

More too come.

As with many, the bug is back there somewhere due to an Underwood No. 5. My grandparents had a No 5. My parents had a yellow Royal Safari that I used to index card everything, including a beer can collection. Collection syndrome clue! A casual interest in typewriters started with a garage sale 3 bank simply because it said Underwood on it. Typewriters were found here and there , but I wasn't actively looking for them. The long dormant collecting tic was activated when my neighbors left a Remington Quiet Riter on the curb when they moved.

Typewriters are the perfect blend of using one's technical skills, history and functional purpose. My goal is type tested machines. My interests are not isolated to anyone area. For example, I am a big fan of Smith Corona electrics, mid century electrics and all things Royal.
