Description:
Great little machine. Smooth operation. But, the internal workings have been used by Olympia/Underwood for years - even the famous Valentine has the same internal parts. Very comfortable to use. My "go-to" travel machine. Easy and light weight. Acquired at an antique mall in Howell MI in spring of 2023. T099

I have always enjoyed tinkering with mechanical "things". For a number of years my wife wanted an IBM Selectric, The machine she used many years ago as a secretary. In 2020 we found one at an auction and bought it for $15. It took another $150 for the typewriter repairman to get it working. That turned out to be T001 in our collection. In the beginning we bought whatever we found. Now I am concentrating on the portables rather than the older office machines. The collection is getting large and it is time to start posting on TWDB.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Underwood 319 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Underwood Serial Number page and the Underwood 319 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
