Description:
Nice working No.6 but missing the side covers .
This unit came out of Fayetteville, NC by way of Jacksonville, NC. Just had to do some minor cleanup and replace the ribbon. Appears it was purchased at, or was serviced by, Williams Office Supply, Jacksonville, NC. They are long gone as is the building at 604 New Bridge Street. The name of a previous owner J.C. Brownson is engraved on the back of the tab bar as well as at the bottom left of the machine.

Retired in June of 2015 and relocated from IL to NC (no more snow and cold but unfortunately, no more Portillo's Chicago dogs either). Missed my old manual typewriter and went on the hunt for a replacement. My first find was a 1920 Royal Model 10 (second design with the dual side glass) . Have always been very fond of typewriters, from the old portable that my mother used, to my first typing class in 1967, then on into the Navy where, as a Communications Yeoman, I worked on the AN/UGC-6 with the 28 ASR (automatic send receive) teletype machine as well as the IBM card punch machines in use at the time. I guess you can say that from 1967 onward, I have been typing on one machine or another, and now have started collecting as my little part in the preservation of the great machines of he past.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Underwood 6 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Underwood Serial Number page and the Underwood 6 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
