Description:
My Royal QDL in chocolate brown. This is the only typewriter I have not purchased in person, and the one I was most eager to find. It's a rare example with the "Vogue" typeface. I bought it in non working condition and were it not for the typeface, this would have been a parts machine as it had a damaged escapement wheel. Many thanks to the folks at Philly Typewriter for repairing this machine, it types smooth as butter.

Typewriter collector in the DC/MD/VA area. Mostly collect wartime and prewar machines of all brands. I have a total of 11 typewriters currently, Royals are my favorite but I like anything with an interesting and unique typeface.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Royal Quiet De Luxe on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Royal Serial Number page and the Royal Quiet De Luxe By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
