a joke before it is banned......
The type writer is awesome and reminds me of a joke..............A physician was looking for a receptionist with typing and filing skills, etc. He was observing a young applicant taking the typing test. She would scan the text, then scan the keyboard and hit some keys hesitantly. This continued for 3 minutes. He finally told her..........."Miss, I see you are simply a hunt and pecker." She shyly replied, "No sir, I have been married for 5 months."..............The coke box looks in great shape!

So where is the key for spell-check on this thing?
Also, those are the exact size bottles that hold the best tasting Coke.
Don't know why...just a fact of life.

When my sister and I took typing in High School, my parents came up with one of those for us to practice on. It still worked fine.
That Underwood is very nice - Underwoods were top of the line typewriters. That thing is built like a tank - no plastic. My brother bought an old Burroughs adding machine from the same era - it weighs about 45 pounds. If the typewriter were mine I'd get it cleaned and oiled (repaired, too, if needed) and keep it. Good luck finding a typewriter repairman. 
The coke bottles are relatively recent. I think the painted bottles (instead of embossed) started in the 60s, and the logo on the case is also 60s or 70s. Congrats.
