1928 Royal P Serial # P86867 1928 Royal P typewriter, Serial # P86867 Brian Metz's 1928 Royal P typewriter. 2025-04-14 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Brian Metz: 1928 Royal P Serial # P86867 Purchased for $70 on April 13, 2025 in the Queen Anne neighborhood of Seattle from a FaceBook marketplace posting. Save for the missing lid of the case (typewriter is still attached to the baseplate) a clapped out ribbon, and one bent type arm, it is incredibly clean and functional (simply dusty). I must confess, I raced over to see this machine in hopes of it being an unrecognized Vogue....alas. Simply an Elite, but I'm very much looking forward to cleaning and oiling her and trying her out.

The pink highlighted area contains the offending bent type bar arm. Hopefully I'll have a delicate enough touch to bend it back to true.

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.
