1934 Royal 10 Serial # S-1645789 1934 Royal 10 typewriter, Serial # S-1645789 James Grooms's 1934 Royal 10 typewriter. 2025-02-24 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of James Grooms: 1934 Royal 10 Serial # S-1645789 The last Royal 10.

Clean under the hood, but plating corrosion up top. The tab rack mounts were bent and one of the carriage bearings was awol, so maybe a minor drop. Needed a just ok platen off another, along with a few other bits and pieces including a spacebar. Another feet rebuild using old feet trimmed to become bushings.

Interesting they had a K keyset in 1933, but dropped it for 34. Then launch the H without it in 1934 to go back to it 35 for the KH.

As with many, the bug is back there somewhere due to an Underwood No. 5. My grandparents had a No 5. My parents had a yellow Royal Safari that I used to index card everything, including a beer can collection. Collection syndrome clue! A casual interest in typewriters started with a garage sale 3 bank simply because it said Underwood on it. Typewriters were found here and there , but I wasn't actively looking for them. The long dormant collecting tic was activated when my neighbors left a Remington Quiet Riter on the curb when they moved.

Typewriters are the perfect blend of using one's technical skills, history and functional purpose. My goal is type tested machines. My interests are not isolated to anyone area. For example, I am a big fan of Smith Corona electrics, mid century electrics and all things Royal.


RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Royal 10 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Royal Serial Number page and the Royal 10 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
