Description:
The undertaker's Underwood! After a thorough cleaning and servicing, this little guy is the nicest 3-bank Underwood I think I've ever owned. It was purchased in March, 2024 from an elderly couple in Souderton, PA. Apparently the owner got the machine as in-kind payment for some chores he did in his youth for the local undertaker, and has sat undisturbed for the past 50-some years. After some new feet, new rubber spacers, a new drawband and ribbon, it's a snappy little champ!
