Here's a website to help you. Once you figure out the model and year check ebay for prices.

Underwood made the Model 3, 5, and on up in the millions. These machines aren't rare at all. Underwood appeared to have made more big-carriage machines than anyone, probably because of their popular book-typing machines. These machines are uncomfortable to type on, because shifting with the little finger requires it to lift that heavy carriage. Not popular to sell-who needs or has room for such a beast? Interesting to look at, but that's all.
This is fasciating. It looks like half typewriter and 1/2 anvil!! Very cool! :)
