1915 Monarch 3 Serial # MV50811 1915 Monarch 3 typewriter, Serial # MV50811 John Abbott's 1915 Monarch 3 typewriter. 2020-03-06 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of John Abbott: 1915 Monarch 3 Serial # MV50811 1104. Picked this up cheap from eBay. Looked like an interesting twist on the older machines. It definitely has some mechanical issues, but hoping they are all things I can get past and fix. They keys definitely need some cosmetic help. They almost look like they have been replaced and not a very good job at it.

I have been trying to learn about the escapement on the different typewriters. I turned this around and saw it staring right in my face.

I started my collection back in 2017 when I found a 1993 Brother WP-1250, which was very close to the typewriter I owned and used to write letters home while I was stationed in Korea serving in the US Air Force (I later discovered it was most likely the Brother WP-1150, so I picked that up). In 2018, my wife took me to one of the local antique store and I saw an old typewriter that caught my eye. My wife purchased it for me for Christmas (a 1932 Royal 10). My wife and I decided to limit my collection to 5 typewriters, so I need to sell off my surplus.


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.
