[GreenKeys] ID'ing an RTTY case

[Teletypeparts via GreenKeys]

I think the case is a cabinet for a WU model 100.  A machine made by Underwood for WU.  The carriage didnt move, the platen did.  Dual kybd contacts and the platen moving got around Teletypes patents.  If there is a hole in the right and left side of the cabinet to allow the platen to move, thats a good clue.  

See the movie "An Ace in the Hole" or "The Big Circus" with Kirk Douglas as a reporter doing a story on a guy stuck in a cave.  Good movie and it features a model 100 a lot.

greenkeyers:

any help id'ing this case?  I was told it was called a "postal" type, often found in p.o.'s; I found the two plates inside the case, one labeled

"Western Union".  could not locate any other data plates on the unit.

 

item is in fairly nice condition; I haven't found any significant dings or dents, some minor scratches; item is for sale, any idea on the value

of this unit?  located in carson city, nv - no shipping, pickup only or locate a shipper in the area that will handle it.
