1938 Royal O Serial # O-789047 1938 Royal O typewriter, Serial # O-789047 Gerald Ambrose's 1938 Royal O typewriter. 2021-04-16 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Gerald Ambrose: 1938 Royal O Serial # O-789047 I first found this machine at an antique store that I have found a few others at, but it was overpriced at $129. Sometime later another machine came in and I was, eventually, able to buy them both for a much more reasonable number.
This machine needs a good dusting and the paint could use a polish, but it works very well. The only issue I had with it was the ribbon vibrator getting stuck but this was quickly remedied. It came with a manual/pamphlet that unfolds, a type brush, and an eraser shield.

What surprised me was the manufacture date. I thought that it was from the mid-thirties, but it actually from the last year for the model.

I started collecting typewriters several years ago and it started with a late 1960s Smith-Corona Sterling portable that I got as a gift.


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