It is most likely a 1928 Underwood Model 3.

As far as posting photos, members can post photos after they have created three posts; so you should be able to now. The info on how to do so is in the FAQ here.

I believe I've figured out how to post a photo. Here's a link to a photo of the typewriter I've been asking about:

The "11 IN" is the carriage size. It may be a Model 6 or 3, but I would need to see a photo or serial number to know.

Thanks for the information. I tried pasting a photo in my post, but I guess you can't do that on this forum. The serial number (at least I think it is) is 769780-II

Thanks so much for the quick reply--I hope the serial number helps.

I hope someone can help with identification of an old typewriter, and sorry in advance if the answer is an easy one.

I found an old Underwood typewriter at an antique shop last week and picked it up, thinking collecting old typewriters would be a cool hobby (I'm a writer, so typewriters are a nostalgic part of the job). Out of curiosity, I've tried identifying the manufacture year, but I can't find one that looks like it online anywhere.

The model information I see is Underwood II IN., but I haven't been able to find one like it online. Could someone help with a definitive model number and year of manufacture? I have a serial number (I think) if that would help.

Thanks to anyone who can help. A picture of the typewriter is here.

Sorry, it looks like you're not able to post images on this board. I hope I've given enough information in the text that can help.
