1957 Royal HH Serial # HHP-6043488 1957 Royal HH typewriter, Serial # HHP-6043488 Gerald Ambrose's 1957 Royal HH typewriter. 2021-04-16 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Gerald Ambrose: 1957 Royal HH Serial # HHP-6043488 An antique store I frequent let me know about this machine but I was completely thrown for the $135 asking price. However the machine is is amazing condition and I eventually bought it for less. The ONLY issue that this machine has, is the find line adjustment mechanism. The metal bushing on the left side has disintegrated and will not allow the mechanism to work.

But, other than that, this machine works very well and it is almost nicer to use than my KMG, but they are very close.

I started collecting typewriters several years ago and it started with a late 1960s Smith-Corona Sterling portable that I got as a gift.
