1964 Underwood 18 Serial # U-548859-054 1964 Underwood 18 typewriter, Serial # U-548859-054 Lupo Cuore's 1964 Underwood 18 typewriter. 2025-07-27 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Lupo Cuore: 1964 Underwood 18 Serial # U-548859-054 A ShopGoodwill acquisition. This is a base model machine, a rebadged Antares. It's typing feel is nonexistent, it makes noise at every point of the typing sequence - from the rattling of the keylever linkages, to the thunk of the typebar on the rest, to the click of the ribbon advance and the clack of the escapement. But it has a nice case! Perfect for my other ultraportables! :D EDIT 7/2025: Donated to a friend whose young son is excited to learn about typewriters! :)

If you weren't sure this was made in Italy after seeing the badge on the lid, they put a 'Made In Italy' sticker on the back too. It's performance reminds me of the joke about what FIAT stands for ("Fix It Again Tony!")... hey I'm 1/2 Italian I can make that joke...

Nice fashionable case. Hey, it IS Italian.

A collector with a penchant for offbeat models/brands and, conversely, the mundane models many overlook, if I have a personal connection or just find them interesting. Finding that collecting typewriters is like eating potato chips, you can't have just one! Also restorer of mechanical calcs, Vintage audio, and vintage computers.


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.
