1929 Royal P Serial # P137664 1929 Royal P typewriter, Serial # P137664 Ian Brumfield's 1929 Royal P typewriter. 2017-10-29 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Ian Brumfield: 1929 Royal P Serial # P137664 This was a family endeavor; a Craigslist listing from a non-collector, causing us to see images of art-deco typefaces in our heads… (See: Royal Vogue typeface.)

No Vogue, but a typeface specimen is coming eventually :p

The oddest thing is the yellow H key. It looks like someone took highlighter to the keycap!

I got this machine on August 31st 2014.

Winning machine of the 7th Annual Antique Typewriter Collectors' Meeting speed typing competition, October 2014.
