Awesome! I've got the slightly earlier 26, and the Home Depot did a wonderful job matching the paint. I love your Underwood typewriter also!

Nice score you got it 1 day before I seen it…lol
I do believe that this is a model 28 , I think it’s a 1946 but could be wrong.
Are you going to restore it?

I’ll probably do a bit of work on it. I need to get a new bulb for it

It’s a nice machine, make sure to oil the bearing before running it, can’t wait to see it all cleaned up!

It sounds not bad already, brush roll spins nicely, bag is in great shape. Nice to meet a fellow Canadian collector.

It’s always a good thing to oil it up, I’m sure the motor has not been oiled in years , don’t want to run it dry it will only wear the motor faster , the motor will love you for it, good to hear it’s in good shape.
Yes nice to meet a fellow Canadian collector, I live just outside of Calgary.
