Description:
1940 Underwood Deluxe Leader
FB Marketplace $75
Full Working Condition. Though it's slightly fragile, it is a well working machine and has a nice metallic feel. As is often the case with typewriters of this age, the platen is pretty hard so there is a little kickback and the carriage has a little resistance when returning, but it works well nonetheless.

Though I have had a love for typewriters since I was a kid (in the 90's) I didn't start collecting in earnest until 2020 (having had 3 typewriters still in my posession and several long gone). Since then, I have become an avid collector, focusing primarily on fully functional manual typewriters. After collecting more than 30, I determined that my favorite Brand overall is Smith Corona and I attempt to hone my collection in that direction. Here's the preservation of one of the best storytellers we've ever known!!
