Description:
Purchased by a friend at an estate sale in decent condition, but needed some work. The carriage was stuck in the shifted position, which was fixed relatively easily. Tab stop mechanism didn't work, but I bent it back into shape. Bell mechanism was frozen, but I got it unstuck. After a thorough cleaning of the basket and picking out the type slugs, it typed beautifully with super-clean impressions and excellent feel.

New to the typewriter world, but eager to learn. I found a 1945 Smith Corona Clipper in decent shape at a flea market, cleaned it up, and have been hooked ever since!
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Underwood 6 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Underwood Serial Number page and the Underwood 6 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
