1940 Royal Quiet De Luxe Serial # A-937625 1940 Royal Quiet De Luxe typewriter, Serial # A-937625 John Cooper's 1940 Royal Quiet De Luxe typewriter. 2022-03-16 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of John Cooper: 1940 Royal Quiet De Luxe Serial # A-937625 I foolishly sold an "extra" QDL, only realizing later that Royal updated their typeface and that typewriter had been my only example of the older face. I bought this QDL to replace it. It's one of the relatively few 1940 QDLs with the round shift keys, which were replaced by larger, rectangular shift keys while the new year was still young.

Whoops! I forgot to close the ribbon cover securely before taking this picture and the next. The cover does close neatly.

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 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.
