Underwood Standard, Model #3 - Good Condition, 20" Wide Carriage Wheel - 1928

Item Description
This is a typewriter model that Underwood put out for handling paper a little bigger than 8.5" by 11".  This bad boy has a 20" carriage wheel and a 24" carriage.  Needs to be cleaned.  Some minor rusting.  Keys and springs all appear to be there.  The keys on the left side are sticky and do not always return on their own. The ones on the right side move freely.    I opened the carriage area which swings back to take pics and now can't figure out how to put down again.  Any of you experts out there with advice on how to put it back down would be much appreciated.
Serial number on this fella is 156524-20.  That would make it a 1928 production year.  The last patent date shown on the back of the typewriter is March 1926.  The bar with the numbering on it on the front has the original screw for the right side, but it is stripped.
The various labeling/printing on the typewriter are all in good condition.  Body of typewriter has some scratches and corrosion, but would be very easy to clean this up and make it look awesome again.  No scratches or dents to body or any bent letter arms.  All springs appear to be there as well.
The carriage moves freely.  The keys, body, and hinges, are all in nice condition.  One of the four rubber feet on the typewriter is missing.  Typewriter measures 11" high, by 26" long, by 14" wide.
There is no case with this one.   Not sure if it came with one.  The typewriter was dusty and dirty, all I have done is wipe it down and oiled some of the joints.  It appears to all be there and in good working order.  Let us know if you have any questions or need additional pictures.
The vintage/antique typewriters I offer for sale have
not
been restored or reconditioned and therefore are not in start using right out of the box condition.  Please expect that there will be work to be done to them if you wish to use it versus just adding a new typewriter to one's collection.
Make sure that this item meets your needs and requirements before deciding to acquire it.   The item can be returned, there is a 20% restocking fee to do so.
So, please carefully review all the attached pictures,
ask all the questions you have, come see in person or send a friend to see the item on your behalf, prior to deciding to acquire it.
