Description:
This beauty was still going strong in the early 80s when it was retired to the basement under its shop cover. Note the platen is a later 10 inch version, so most likely from a KMG. The feet look to be HH types. It has the paint wear of something that was used regularly but boy they loved it up otherwise. And whoever was servicing it was good.

Typewriters are the perfect blend of using one's technical skills, history and functional purpose. My goal is type tested machines. My interests are not isolated to anyone area. For example, I am a big fan of Smith Corona electrics, mid century electrics and all things Royal.
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.
