That's a cool machine to have though! I think at best you might be able to find out when Western Union ordered the mills and how many and maybe you could guess based on the serial number from that the age of the machine.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08407133004841846661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6928099911371743620.post-40551904392720148032016-06-18T09:04:37.897-07:002016-06-18T09:04:37.897-07:00I have a red Western Union Underwood typewriter an...I have a red Western Union Underwood typewriter and am trying to find information about it. I have someone interested in buying it from me and would love for her to know it's history. I found this serial number: WU6303R. Is there a date stamp somewhere? Are there any other resources to discover history?

If you ever want to turn the old Remington Postal Telegraph into cash let me know. I'll drive from Maryland to Virginia to collect it! I enjoy your blog very much.

I still don't own any mills.<br /><br />I wonder why they even bothered to put + or ~ on the shifted positions of the typebars—why not leave them totally blank?Richard Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16232053429935587826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6928099911371743620.post-85560566523801922372015-09-11T21:03:18.458-07:002015-09-11T21:03:18.458-07:00I will check our brass framed Underwood to see if ...I will check our brass framed Underwood to see if it has those catches.
