Wayne,

It is the guts of a Western Union Teleprinter - Model 103 built for 
WUT under contract during a time when they did not want to buy from 
Teletype Corp.  It appears to be made by the Underwood company.

There are three known models 101, 102, and 103.

The item up for auction is only the typing unit and keyboard.  The 
platen moves instead of the carriage and without the electrical 
service unit it is only good for spare parts.
