It's been awhile since I decided to check out the local antique stores, so I decided I would take a look around today. Lo and behold, the very first destination I went to netted me a gorgeous Royal portable within about 10 seconds of walking in the door. I didn't notice that the case was actually green until I got it outside, but wow just look at the interior case design as well. Absolutely stunning.
The machine is in what I call "Grandma" shape; likely bought brand new by a young lady in the 1920's or 1930's who kept very good care of it until stored away for awhile, before in the here and now a family member started cleaning out the estate and selling what they found.
Serial number of P62504 puts it as 1929.
Wow! Nice find. Makes me wonder who first owned it and what they wrote.
ReplyDeleteSweet! Love that case & matching typer :D

ReplyDeleteI've never seen/noticed an interior of a Royal P case so beautiful. Now, I'll have to go check all of mine!
