I actually care more about how it's built than how it looks. I love Underwood No.5's but I get so disappointed when I see too many rust buckets and not enough good ones. Welcome home.<br />London looked awesome.<br /><br />Ton- Thanks! I love New England but I would definitely visit someday. I look forward to meeting you sometime soon. <br /> Tom Furrierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04474840038948422845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1296810989330430559.post-36399158472906512342013-07-08T07:29:53.189-07:002013-07-08T07:29:53.189-07:00Thanks for sharing these, Tom.

They're cool in a "muscular" sort of way, I could see them working well for some serious typing.<br /><br />Can't help but think how lucky Arlington folks are to have a neighbor like you. WIll you consider moving to Chicago?

Now you see why I'm kinda obsessed with these guys.<br /><br />Interesting that you can't find enough good Underwood 5's. I suppose the nasty ones are common but there are few that have survived in top condition.Richard Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16232053429935587826noreply@blogger.com
