Description:
This machine came with a lot of seven machines I acquired together a couple of years ago. I neglected it so far, but of course this machine types like a champion (tm) after a little cleaning.
It is not in perfect condition cosmetically, but still pretty good. Unlike my favorite "S", this "SS" has a segment shift, which should make it a little lighter to use - however, not lighter to carry, at a hefty 36.2 lbs/16.4 kg.

I started collecting my first pre-WW2 standard typewriters in 2017. Since then I have added a few machines to my collection, which now ranges from the 1880s to the 1980s. As of 2024, I have more big standard (desktop) typewriters than portables, a few standard electrics, and some unusual machines like Varitypers, uncommon IBM machines, and more. I am not a pro restorer, but I have restored a few of my machines beyond simple cleaning.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Underwood SS on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Underwood Serial Number page and the Underwood SS By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
