1940 Royal Signet Serial # E140159 1940 Royal Signet typewriter, Serial # E140159 Jennifer Grube's 1940 Royal Signet typewriter. 2018-05-10 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Jennifer Grube: 1940 Royal Signet Serial # E140159 I bought this machine on a whim. I was jokingly saying that I needed a Royal from the 40s to complete my collection since I had 20s, 30s, and 50s. It was being sold for a low price, so it made sense for me to buy it.

It has a few sticky keys that still need cleaned up, and an upper case alignment issue. I haven't really attempted to fix it, as it's just sitting idle at the moment.

I caught the typewriter bug when I fell in love with an Underwood 5. A few months later and I am now up to 10 typewriters, with the majority consisting of Royal P's and O's. I keep telling myself that "this is the last one", but we all know how that goes..
