Description:
This is my first 18 and the one that lives by my desk, in case I need to type something. I think Antares was just using up parts on this one. It has square shaped keys, while the others have more of a heart shape. And it's Elite typeface. It does have a skipping issue I am working on.

Retired from tech support and finally able to focus on analog again. I was involved for awhile with the Typosphere in the early 2000s. Still have my Smith Coronas. Completed NaNoWriMo in 2006 on a Smith Corona Silent Super as part of the Typewriter Brigade.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Underwood (Antares) 18 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Underwood (Antares) Serial Number page and the Underwood (Antares) 18 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
