Description:
This is a typewriter that to me feels odd for an Underwood, is surprisingly snappy and has a certain solidness to it in the action but at the same time is also incredibly loud and has a bit of a rattly/tinny feeling. The "º" key I am told is a custom order key but not 100% certain this is true. Locking system that holds it in the case is incredibly solid, one of my favorites that I have seen. The feet have solidified to the point where I could swear they are just made of hard plastic, if there is anything on this machine that I am going to replace then that will probably be first.

Collector and maintenance/repair enthusiast, writer of poetry, letters and fiction. Currently have over two dozen machines, has been an interest of mine for years but only became serious about it recently (in 2024). Typewriters have become my primary passion in life, though I still enjoy doing other things from time to time. Typing outdoors is arguably my favorite thing to do. Note that I have only just begun cataloguing my collection here, I am hoping to enter at least one a day but we'll see.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Underwood Hideaway on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Underwood Serial Number page and the Underwood Hideaway By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
