Description:
$10 clearance consignment store buy. In really great shape (though the case is not), the only hiccup is the auto-ribbon-reverse is gummed up. Will get a thorough cleaning and see if we can shake it loose. Not intended to keep, but I also didn't intend to buy it in the first place, so we'll see. Thought it typed quite well.
Did come with some original documentation (card showing features, etc.). Will photograph at a later date and provide better images of the typewriter, too.

I am quite new to the typewriter world (first bought 6/2023), but I sort of jumped right in with three typewriters in my first week. I am interested in the mechanics of manual typewriters, as well as have an affinity for cleaning up long-forgotten gems. I'm a Smith-Corona fiend, but any nice typewriter will do!
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Underwood 315 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Underwood Serial Number page and the Underwood 315 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
