Description:
This typewriter belonged to the seller's grandfather, who clearly took good care of his belongings. It's in great condition and is now serviced. With no easy way to adjust vertical alignment for this model, I found a firmer touch was needed with the shift key to get the type aligned.
Pica typeface

I'm a Canadian book editor and typewriter collector with over fifty typewriters, ranging from an 1890 Odell 2 to a 1965 Facit TP1. I also own and operate Ocean View Typewriters, a typewriter shop, out of Nova Scotia, Canada.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Underwood Leader on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Underwood Serial Number page and the Underwood Leader By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
