1940 Royal Aristocrat Serial # B-957437 1940 Royal Aristocrat typewriter, Serial # B-957437 Ted Munk's 1940 Royal Aristocrat typewriter. 2021-10-17 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Ted Munk: 1940 Royal Aristocrat Serial # B-957437 I rarely find glass-key portables in thrifts, but when I do, they tend to be in really great shape, but rarely super-affordable. This one was an exception, just days after the same store posted a $40 early-50's QDL, they popped this 1940 Aristocrat, and priced it at just $24.99

I am a scoundrel without a cause, and my swank outshines the sun.

I am a casual Typewriter Hunter residing in the sweltering deserts of Arizona with a wife, three cats and about 50 typewriters. My main hunting ground is thrift stores, and I rarely pay more than $10 for a machine. My collection consists mainly of portables with cases, and they stay in the cases unless I am actively using it (usually more than one at a time). I do, however keep a handful of interesting Selectrics, including a Composer and a couple of large Nakajima Electronics to use as daisywheel printers for my vintage laptop collection.
