Description:
1949 Royal KMG desktop in gray with the long carriage. The 14 prefix is the 14 inch platen. Pica. Dated 1949 against two KMGs logged here (KMG12-3949145 and KMG12-3970255, both 1949).
I found it in September 2023 at an antique store in South Ogden, Utah, for $40. It wears some cosmetic damage from its age, and it types.
Work done on the bench:
- Cleaned and polished
- Washed and properly oiled
- Shift springs tightened
- New ribbon installed
Sold in February 2024. Restored by Slow Letter Co., Syracuse, Utah.
