1949 Royal KMG Serial # KMG-4005814 1949 Royal KMG typewriter, Serial # KMG-4005814 Corwin Davidson's 1949 Royal KMG typewriter. 2015-05-11 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Corwin Davidson: 1949 Royal KMG Serial # KMG-4005814 This is the typewriting equivalent of a patina Volkswagen. It is quite rusty and has no ribbon cover, trim, or Tab Set/Clear buttons (although the tab is still there). This was my first manual typewriter and despite its appearance, it types really well. I bought it in really nasty condition at a flea market and have since restored it to good mechanical(if not cosmetic) condition.
