Description:
This beautiful Royal Companion (a sort of hybrid of the Varsity and Arrow budget models) may have been a prize in a student contest, as evidenced by the Cornell University logo on the case. Unfortunately, the typewriter was dropped at some point and the carriage assembly was bent beyond repair.

Resident of Portland, Oregon since 2015. Mostly interested in semi-portables of the '30s, '40s, and '50s (the late glass key top through late pre-electric eras), with a special interest in unusual or distinctive typefaces other than techno and script. Always learning!
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Royal Companion on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Royal Serial Number page and the Royal Companion By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
