Description:
Asked at a yard sale and got this, maybe the nicest condition used typewriter I have gotten so far, and two others. The only two minor complaints I can make are that the case is scuffed and the backspace key bounces at every keystroke. Otherwise---primo.
It has five manually settable tabs.

While I find all of mankind's inventions interesting, I am most enchanted by the human-scale arts and devices, the ones that can be created (and repaired) in a home workshop or studio; the ones that can be understood by looking at them; the ones that do something useful or stir admiration. Typewriters work for me.
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.
