1920 Royal 10 Serial # X549717 1920 Royal 10 typewriter, Serial # X549717 Lukas Klein's 1920 Royal 10 typewriter. 2026-04-18 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Lukas Klein: 1920 Royal 10 Serial # X549717 I have this I found Royal No. 10 on an online classifieds site. I hadn't really expected to find anything interesting in my city, but then two Royal aircraft appeared. Of two From different sellers. One Royal model had two glasses on each side (this machine), and the others only had one glass on each side. Since I knew the double-glass version was older That's why I chose this machine. I drove to the seller's house, looked at the machine, and was surprised to find that it was almost completely rust-free. The machine doesn't look as good in the photos in the advertisement as it does in real life. The saleswoman said the machine had belonged to her boyfriend's grandmother. I am I'm very happy to have bought such a beautiful Royal 10. The paint still needs to be cleaned and polished, and the whole machine needs to be cleaned. But otherwise, it works really well.

I come from southern Germany and have been collecting historical typewriters for 10 years. I'm interested in the antique machines built before 1945. All machines built after 1945 are not used for collecting but for writing



RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Royal 10 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Royal Serial Number page and the Royal 10 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
