No.29 - Typewriter of the Day: Underwood Universal

No 29: TOTD Underwood Universal - Golden Touch

Here is another time capsule in my collection.  I hadn't typed on this machine since I picked it up.  What a waste, it is perfect, types well has a good ribbon and has everything from the paperwork to the key for the case.  It could use a little more exercise which is something I can only look to myself to handle.  Enjoy the picture.



I am uploading this now but will update this posting when I can add some information as to who used an Underwood  Universal to write with.  I have reached out to Richard Polt,  the typewriter guru, for help with this interesting question.

P.S. Richard got back to me almost immediately with the following:

Hi John,

Thanks for writing.

I have a list of writers and their typewriters at http://site.xavier.edu/polt/typewriters/typers.html

According to one of my correspondents, Australian writer Ruth Park used such a machine. Just now I found the attached photo; it’s definitely an Underwood from the ‘50s, but I can’t be sure of which model.

best wishes,

Richard

Has this got Lindsey Shepard written all over it? This sounds like something drummed up by activist Psychologists.  Perhaps Dr. Peterson should not make himself vulnerable by offering counseling.

No. 28 - Typewriter of the Day - Triumph Gabriele E

No. 28 TOTD - Triumph Gabriele E

It's not that clean, it could use a new ribbon but it works so I am marking it a keeper.  All my machines with problems are going to a friend who repairs them and sells them.  I only fix/overhaul really prime specimans for my collection.  This machine is interesting in that it is the only model I have where the case is plastic and not aluminum.

Here is the Picture.
