Description:
This is an orange/black duotone 1929 Royal Model P portable typewriter with "vogue" typeface. I bought it from a private seller on November 25, 2018, as I was on a 20-hour drive from Thanksgiving in Iowa back to Philadelphia, while outrunning an ice storm. We met the seller (and this is true) in the parking lot of a strip club near the Indianapolis airport. (The main picture here is from that parking lot.) It didn't take much cleaning at all to get it into spectacular working order.

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.
