Description:
Another typewriter that my father has had for years. He paid $5 for it at a garage sale.
It's a 1955 Underwood Universal (probably the 'Junior' model) that was made before the 'Quiet Tab' models came out later in 1956 (not sure on that).
Typewriter and case are in VG condition.

I'm a collector of various types of antique/vintage items (toys, farm tools, old bottles, war memorabilia, coins, stamps, etc.).
I came across 3 antique Remington portable typewriters several years back and am hoping to be able to identify their Model # and Date of manufacture, if possible.
I am planning on selling them but not without a bit more knowledge about them :)
I'm from Ontario, Canada.
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.
