Description:
Unrestored 1935 Royal model H, bought for a few bucks at auction. Works reasonably well, but not used as a daily typer. Sorry about the poor type sample -- I used an old ribbon and boosted the levels in image processing, so it doesn't look great.

Formerly owned by NSW railways
Serial number in the cutout under the carriage
The clips used to set tabs -- not all lost!

Before cleaning
Still before cleaning
Came with spools, but a lot of dirt
And came with a lot of ... uh .... gunk
Top view, casing removed and platen out
Everything you can see was gummed up

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