Description:
Picked this up Jan 07, 2018 at a local flea market. No case with it.
It's in very nice condition and surprisingly to me it types very well considering it's not what I would have considered an expensive portable at the time of manufacture. It has no tabs and it is carriage shift. The ribbon color selector is different as well. It's placed in front of the carriage, not on the body or near the keyboard. Although it is listed in the twdb as 1963 I do not think this is from that time frame, I think it's later than that

I like to collect vintage/retro items and have a pretty good collection of electric mixers, vacuums, telephones and typewriters.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Underwood 18 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Underwood Serial Number page and the Underwood 18 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
