A Super Fine Underwood Champion

This is one of the nicest Underwoods I have ever seen.

This was a very nice Ebay find for someone.

I have never noticed a dealer sticker there before.



Ribbon tins are very collectable and look cool.

Ribbon tins can be very decorative and stylish.

I like this machine so much I have to show it twice.

Mystery Machine Revealed

Ta daaa. It's a very dirty American Model No. 8.

The picture does not do this dirty machine justice.



What a dramatic difference. It looks brand new (almost).

The finish on this machine was well preserved.

Here's the carriage lifted up so you could check your spelling.



This customer repair is one of the nicest Corona No.3 I've seen.

This Royal P model has some wear but still looks great.

I get a lot of these type of Royal machines for repair.

Hall of Fame Makeover...literally.


If this Corona could only talk.

This machine was very poorly stored for decades.


It still looks like a well worn machine but now it works great.

Check out the added Pharmaceutical keys on right side.


When the first Corona was retired, he purchsed this second one which I'm typing this second story one.
Well, that's it for this week. Hope you enjoyed the stories. Everyone have a great week.
