Order your typewriter today, and I will send you a beautiful specimen of this model in about 2 weeks.

It won’t be the exact machines pictured, but it will be a working typewriter in comparable condition.

All of the pictured machines are machines we recently sold:

This is a beautiful specimen of one of history's quintessential writing machines. This model was used by Hemingway and others of his ilk and era.

This machine has certainly been used, but cared for and loved as well. the insides are quite clean. The platen is hard but in good condition, and still grips the paper well. The rollers are excellent.

The feet, which often come squashed, will be replaced if needed. A new ribbon has been installed as well.

This one comes in the sought-after black lacquer, with paper support and gold decals, in excellent condition on support and rear. 'usually ‘Underwood Noiseless Portable’ stated on front beneath space bar.

The Noiseless has a unique mechanism, which catches the type bar before it smacks the platen. This, coupled with rubber bumpers at the top and bottom of the stroke, reduce the sound.

The gloss black lacquer shines. There may be very minor imperfections.

This model hails from 1936, a perfect year. Before that, they had a smaller carriage return lever, and after that, the quality of some components declined gradually into the 40's.

The carriage knobs and hardware are in excellent condition. There is no rust visible anywhere.

This machine has been cleaned and serviced for your writing pleasure!

The case is in above average, though not perfect, condition. Handle is solid. Hinges are solid. All material covering the plywood intact, with some wear to the edges. It does the job. Very little of the ubiquitous mildew smell from the era.

The print is clear and crisp: 12 character per inch. Sometimes 10 character per inch.

Sometimes these machines print a little faintly, due to the Noiseless mechanism. The trick is to use 2 sheets of paper, or thicker paper, or a cotton ribbon.

All of the features work as designed, including:

Tabulator (with one key tab included... these are often lost).

  • 2-tone Ribbon Selector

  • Single, Double, Triple Line spacing with indicator

  • Carriage Lock

  • Ribbon auto and manual reversal

  • Right and Left Margin

  • Tabulator features

Please let me know if you have additional questions.

I'll include a digital copy of the manual as well.

This machine comes with my Classic Typewriter guarantee and lifetime trade-in policy.
