Description:
I bought this 1927 Underwood 4-bank portable from a construction worker in Plymouth Meeting, Pennsylvania, in November of 2020. I originally thought it was the standard black, but it turned out to be a nice royal blue. In fixing it up, I added a coat of satin varnish to prevent the already-flaking paint from flaking off more, which gives it a unique (and I'd add, rather pleasing) appearance.
