Description:
just in bad shape; can’t yet move the carriage to see the serial number.
It has a transitional door on the front to expose the typeslugs for cleaning; in the past this area had been open; now in the modern times, the slugs had to be hidden for that cleaner look. So, shroud the whole machine and then put in a door for access.

While I find all of mankind's inventions interesting, I am most enchanted by the human-scale arts and devices, the ones that can be created (and repaired) in a home workshop or studio; the ones that can be understood by looking at them; the ones that do something useful or stir admiration. Typewriters work for me.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Underwood Master on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Underwood Serial Number page and the Underwood Master By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
