Description:
Interesting blue/grey Royal P from 1928, which I bought from an Albanian gentleman in Northeast Philadelphia in January 2023, just a few blocks from Bell's Russian Market. It seems to have been professionally reconditioned and repainted, probably in the 1950s. The green case and undersides of some of the body panels suggest that it was originally alligator green in color. But it also has a newer ribbon vibrator and wonderful case handle.

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