Description:
A tough one. The tab rack was hanging loose with parts missing. The ribbon drive was jacked. The backend took a bump, so the bell trip was wonky. Does someone have a cover latch/logo setup from a late portable?

Typewriters are the perfect blend of using one's technical skills, history and functional purpose. My goal is type tested machines. My interests are not isolated to anyone area. For example, I am a big fan of Smith Corona electrics, mid century electrics and all things Royal.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Underwood Crest on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Underwood Serial Number page and the Underwood Crest By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
