Description:
I got this wonderful, carmel-colored Royal P with crinkle finish from a seller in North Wales, PA, in September 2022. That seller got it from the estate of Randy Alexander—a fixture in the local Philadelphia music scene. As his obituary at “Billboard Magazine” (link below) attests, he was a well-known music journalist for the Trenton Times (as the case attests), as well as the PR man for the likes of Deep Purple, Joe Piscopo, and the Amazing Kreskin. Sounds like an amazing guy, who incidentally had great taste in writing machines!

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.
