I need to know if the fourth model Olympia SM9 is an equal typer, at least in touch/ feel to the 3rd model SM9. In other words a 1972 all metal Olympia SM9 vs a 1968 model.<br /><br />Thanks,<br /><br />EWAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1296810989330430559.post-14125739052641571072011-09-06T20:13:16.137-07:002011-09-06T20:13:16.137-07:00I'm having a great time using my (revamped by ...I'm having a great time using my (revamped by Tom) "Underwood 3".

Yes, Underwood 5'...Very nice Before&After!<br /><br />Yes, Underwood 5's are great -- luckily mine is in decent condition, given to me by a dear friend in May.

Reminds me a bit of Remington's Art Gothic. I love unusual typefaces and this one must have been a nice surprise as the sellers rarely include type samples on eBay auctions.

Wow.<br /><br />That Smith-Corona is probably the freshest-looking pink '50s machine I've ever seen. So often they look faded and dirty.<br /><br />Southworth still makes lots of good paper, and I bet most of it is good for typing. I like to promote them because the company was founded by one of my great-great-great-grandfathers, and manufactured the first typewriter paper for Remington.Richard Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16232053429935587826noreply@blogger.com
