1948 Royal Quiet De Luxe Serial # A-1736665 1948 Royal Quiet De Luxe typewriter, Serial # A-1736665 Joseph Hargreaves's 1948 Royal Quiet De Luxe typewriter. 2024-10-28 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Joseph Hargreaves: 1948 Royal Quiet De Luxe Serial # A-1736665 The 1948 Royal Quiet De Luxe redesign by Henry Dreyfuss. I believe this to be the redesign to introduce the classic "tombstone" keys. I've always been impartial to these over the more rounded curves of later models. Very masculine!
