Re: Underwood "Semitic" 46

I've seen that machine on Craigslist for a long time; glad you got it. As I recall, it was pretty far north in VT -- not close enough for a short jaunt!

Yes, I'm glad I finally went for it. One of a kind, and Russian, which I can use. Plus I got the whole backstory that it was originally owned by the seller's dad, who taught himself Russian, and then when WWII broke out, he became a Russian teacher for our troops heading to the front who would need to speak and interact with our Soviet allies. I'll treasure it... whenever I actually get it.

Re: Underwood "Semitic" 46

Hi Markmotown, I'm curious to know the serial # and how you got the date. I found one at the Yiddish Book Center with serial #2217297-10. According to the database, it looks like this would be 1927. (I'm not sure what the "-10" is for. I would like to compare.

It indicates the platen size.


The pronoun has always been capitalized in the English language for more than 700 years.
