Description:
Nice smooth machine that came to me from the estate of Nancy Metz of Raleigh, NC. Everything is working now but I will revisit the exterior body panels to do some additional detailing. Looking forward to typing on this machine whose lineage can be traced back to the Woodstock Typewriter Company at 300 N. Seminary Avenue in Woodstock, IL.

Retired in June of 2015 and relocated from IL to NC (no more snow and cold but unfortunately, no more Portillo's Chicago dogs either). Missed my old manual typewriter and went on the hunt for a replacement. My first find was a 1920 Royal Model 10 (second design with the dual side glass) . Have always been very fond of typewriters, from the old portable that my mother used, to my first typing class in 1967, then on into the Navy where, as a Communications Yeoman, I worked on the AN/UGC-6 with the 28 ASR (automatic send receive) teletype machine as well as the IBM card punch machines in use at the time. I guess you can say that from 1967 onward, I have been typing on one machine or another, and now have started collecting as my little part in the preservation of the great machines of he past.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the R.C. Allen 600 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the R.C. Allen Serial Number page and the R.C. Allen 600 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
