"Underwood 450" Designed by noted Italian designer Ettore Sottsass or John Svezia who worked under George Nelson, still researching. (It's really an Olivetti 45 because Olivetti purchased the Underwood company.) This machine is from 1973. Also has a carrying case.

"I was born in a crossfire hurricane"...
A professor in college gave me the gift and appreciation of the letter form.
Typewriters are just little "print shops" for me.
I have an MFA in 3D Digital Sculpture.
I no longer mold young minds, by teaching art to high school students, everyday is a safari now...
In my spare time I own and operate an equal opportunity rescue shelter for all makes and models of typewriters that have been abandoned in the bottoms of closets.
No matter how many typewriters I am fortunate to be able to collect, my collection will not be as nice as Herman's...
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Underwood 450 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Underwood Serial Number page and the Underwood 450 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
