Description:
A late-1957 Underwood Golden Touch with an unusual 15" carriage, found for $45 at Ballard ReUse, Monday, February 22, bought the next day, after a bit of research. Seems to be in remarkably good nick; a *bit* dusty, but seems mechanically sound, with no obvious problems. I'm not sure what's going on with the ribbons; they look like they're off the spools and simply hand-wound on the machine itself.
