1912 Monarch 3 Serial # 63294 1912 Monarch 3 typewriter, Serial # 63294 Brian Decker's 1912 Monarch 3 typewriter. 2026-01-03 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Brian Decker: 1912 Monarch 3 Serial # 63294 I got this Monarch 3 parts machine a long time ago, I think at the July 2002 Typewriter Jamboree in Southboro MA (hosted by Chuck Dilts and Rich Cincotta). I plan to use a few parts from it for my Monarch 3 #99868S, most notably the star wheel & pinion assembly. I have already removed it as of this posting (1/3/26), and it's in rough shape like the rest of the typewriter, but at least it turns freely. The pinion on my #99868S machine is bent. I also plan to take some springs and maybe some linkage components from the parts machine, but not much else.

Status: Typewriter Hunter
Points: 2104

My interest in typewriters started in 1997, when I was in graduate school at the University of Georgia. I purchased and read Darryl Rehr's book, joined ETC, and started reaching out to known collectors. I had several email interchanges with Richard Polt dating from that period. I also bought some of my first machines from Bob Aubert, and visited him at his home twice. After marriage and relocation to New England, I continued visiting antique shops and eBay, until other priorities put my typewriter hobby on hiatus around 2008.

In late 2024, I started up again, working on my machines and having some of them serviced professionally by New England Typewriter (NET) LLC (Merrimack, NH), until they closed their doors in December of 2025. Since mid-2025, I have been adding to my collection again, first with a Hermes 3000 purchase from NET, then with various auctions and purchases on eBay, when I find something that catches my eye.


RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Monarch 3 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Monarch Serial Number page and the Monarch 3 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
