Description:
I purchased this from a gentleman in Bath, ME. It belonged to his mother, who received it as a hand-me-down from her sister. It is currently my favorite machine to use. I cleaned it and it’s working perfectly now. I installed a purple ink ribbon from Ribbons Unlimited in Baltimore.

I learned to type on electric typewriters in middle school. Used computers through high school and college. Recently got back into typewriters of the manual and vintage variety because I find them easier to compose any sort of work on, especially when it comes time to edit. I own two Royals at present, and I hope to keep new and different finds moving in and out of my home so that I don’t get stuck with a collection of machines, but I do end up sending out fully functioning machines into the world.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Royal Arrow on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Royal Serial Number page and the Royal Arrow By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
