Description:
Picked this up from a family just out of Charlotte, NC. This 5N belonged to his grandfather and had been in storage for many years. It was pretty grimy and the right ribbon spool shaft had been seriously frozen up but, after some work and disassembly, I was able to get it working. Now just need to get a new ribbon to be fully operational.

Retired in June of 2015 and relocated from IL to NC (no more snow and cold but unfortunately, no more Portillo's Chicago dogs either). Missed my old manual typewriter and went on the hunt for a replacement. My first find was a 1920 Royal Model 10 (second design with the dual side glass) . Have always been very fond of typewriters, from the old portable that my mother used, to my first typing class in 1967, then on into the Navy where, as a Communications Yeoman, I worked on the AN/UGC-6 with the 28 ASR (automatic send receive) teletype machine as well as the IBM card punch machines in use at the time. I guess you can say that from 1967 onward, I have been typing on one machine or another, and now have started collecting as my little part in the preservation of the great machines of he past.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Woodstock 5N on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Woodstock Serial Number page and the Woodstock 5N By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
