A possible source of an all caps typewriter is local radio stations. The newsrooms frequently used them for typing copy to make on-air reading easier.

Hi,
I am now on the Board of Directors of the Chatham Marconi Maritime Museum in my Dad's place.He obtained a Model 19 teletype machine to be used in the Navy Room when the museum opens -probably in 2010. Dad was the chief in charge of teletype at Chatham Navy Radio that intercepted messages from Germany to their U-boats etc.
I found a note saying that he wanted to have an Underwood typewriter with all capital letters like they used during the war.Does anyone know where one could be located?
