Description:
I wanted a typewriter with an 18 inch platen so I could feed 11x17 paper sideways and make story charts. While my first choice was the incredibly elegant looking Underwood #3, this one was half the price and supposed to be fully functional.
And no, I didn't clean it yet. This is how it arrived.
An interesting feature that I have no idea what to do with is a full ten decimal tabs. Accountants must have loved this.
My only disappointment is that something is blocking the carriage and it only has an 11 inch type line. But it's in incredible condition! This thing has real potential.

Someone gave me a vintage typewriter and I went maybe just a little bit crazy.
A dozen typewriters later, I think I found the machines I need.
