1936 Royal Junior Serial # J53646 1936 Royal Junior typewriter, Serial # J53646 Mighty Jabba's 1936 Royal Junior typewriter. 2023-05-18 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Mighty Jabba: 1936 Royal Junior Serial # J53646 I had never even heard of the Royal Junior before this appeared on eBay for $50 (shows how much I have to learn about typewriters, but I also think these are a lot less common than many other models). I understand these were made during the Great Depression to be inexpensive, but it still seems like a quality product (more so than something like the Remington Remette, in my opinion). Yes, it's missing a lot of features. Tabs. Bichrome ribbon support. A bell. Heck, it's the only machine in my collection to not even have a backspace key! But it really feels nicely designed and built.

This particular one was in amazing shape. Basically flawless, although it is missing one foot. Of course I did clean it up and give it a bit of a polish with Turtle Wax.

I'm relatively new to typewriter collecting, but am rapidly making up for lost time...


RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Royal Junior on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Royal Serial Number page and the Royal Junior By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
