1939 Royal Aristocrat Serial # B-881148 1939 Royal Aristocrat typewriter, Serial # B-881148 Zigmund Hostutler's 1939 Royal Aristocrat typewriter. 2024-09-14 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Zigmund Hostutler: 1939 Royal Aristocrat Serial # B-881148 Pica

I bought this from a local gentleman in the spring of 2021. I have good reason to believe this was professionally serviced sometime in the not-too-distant past. It types superbly and is very clean as well. An excellent example of Royal craftsmanship at its finest. More photos and typeface sample to come.

Royal would effect several small changes to its keyboards in 1940 that make these '39s unique. The large round shift keys would become rectangular, and the tab key and margin release would swap places.

Been enjoying the hobby since 2015; finally getting around to sharing my collection digitally. I only keep the typewriters I use and enjoy the most, so check out my sightings to see all the machines that came and went.



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