Typewriter Talk / Underwood - Model 12 (any help is much appreciated!)

**Posted by brookswood** 27-7-2020 09:34:10

Yo guys, first time poster here and I hope I'm hitting up the correct sub-forum.

I bought an Underwood Model 12 from a lady in East Harlem like 8 years ago because I really just wanted an old vintage typewriter. I really don't have a better story/reason for wanting one. From what I can tell online, it's an Underwood Model 12 and that's really about it. I was hoping someone else could help me understand how old it is or anything else cool about it? See pics below.

Thanks!

There was no Underwood 12. I cannot view the pictures, but if you are seeing a "12" as a decal or in the serial suffix, it refers to the carriage size of your machine.

If there's a '12' on the keyboard surround it's almost certainly a Model 3 - and unlikely an early typewriter.

On the positive side, Underwoods are good typewriters!
