1955 Underwood Universal Serial # BA2642323 1955 Underwood Universal typewriter, Serial # BA2642323 Jer Wal's 1955 Underwood Universal typewriter. 2015-07-21 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Jer Wal: 1955 Underwood Universal Serial # BA2642323 Made in U.S.A. Good sturdy metal typer. Somewhat stiff keyboard feel (not as light as my Underwood Finger-Flite Champion). Missing the knurled ribbon advance knob. Platen set screws are bunged up so I can't get the platen knobs off to adjust the left margin hold. Nice pleasant type face with pretty good imprint. I got it from an estate sale for $10. And I like the color! A good looking typer.

I put a piece of shrink tubing on the ribbon advance shaft, but it's too big to fit tightly. Still, it tells me which direction the ribbon is running.

Looks just like the innards of my Finger-Flite Champion.

The pounding typebar, having writ, moves on... unless there's a ding.


RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Underwood Universal on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Underwood Serial Number page and the Underwood Universal By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
