1909 Royal 1 Serial # 15022 1909 Royal 1 typewriter, Serial # 15022 Lynn Johansen's 1909 Royal 1 typewriter. 2024-03-30 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Lynn Johansen: 1909 Royal 1 Serial # 15022 Barn unit badly rusted and dirty. I’ve been working on it and with some luck. Finishing a video about it so not totally put back together but since it’s an early Royal I thought I’d add it here and add pictures as able. Escapement is vexing but I managed some type.

I have a passion for analog methods of putting words on paper. I own a letterpress shop that helps to fill this desire, but found typewriters also have a role in producing written materials with a value-added dimension. I'm drawn to working typewriters and renovate them as I am able. I'm pretty handy with things mechanical. Overall, I feel more like an enthusiast with a collection that will get used by design. I understand the temptation to buy them all, but I don't have a store to sell them in. I'm also no expert in repair, so it's a matter of finding the best typefaces and typing feel that helps me to get words on paper. Type on!
