Strong woman...:lol: :lol:

I can remember the old Underwood typewriters and you had to be as strong as that to use one. This is similar to the one we had about the house when I was a kid. Typists in those days must have had strong fingers not like us sissies with our computers

their worth about £80 to a collector

I bought it in a job lot of house clearance stuff at auction . paid around 20 sobs for half a van load of tat about 5 years ago

it was in the shop for about 12 months and then went into the lockup for another couple of years , then went on ebay and didnt sell so I took it home , stripped cleaned and rebuilt it , still didnt sell on ebay so it sat in the shed and I turfed it in a skip last week, sick of the sight of it, it was made in 1911 and even had a working ribbon in it and no scratches to the transfers, all the letters were on the keys and hadnt been worn down

ive got so much stock sitting around from when I left the shop and i was renting storage to keep it so last weekend I took a circular saw to some lovely oak furniture to make fire wood for the winter

ive still got tons left but cant sell it , ive reduced three lock ups to two and now I need to reduce two to one

so if anyones looking for antiques I may well have what you want
