Help with these typewriters...Please

[Keith Willis]

These two typewriters belong to my 15 year old son.
He said he has done a little research and has not found
what he would like to know.We would like to know about
how old they are,and although he would never part with
either,he would like to know a guess as to their values.

The first is a Underwood that was given to him,by his
Grandfather(my dad).Dad worked with the RailRoad,
this one was in the old RR Depot and dad said he typed
on this one when he first went to work for the RR back
in the late 60's.

The second one belong to his Great Uncle,who used
it for his work.He worked in some form of Milatary for
nearly 50 years,and retired as a Sargent Major (i guess we are kinda proud of that).
It was given to my son sometime after his death.

Thanks for looking,
Thanks for any help.

God bless,Keith
