1953 Royal Quiet De Luxe Serial # RA-2979097 1953 Royal Quiet De Luxe typewriter, Serial # RA-2979097 Jayson Cottle's 1953 Royal Quiet De Luxe typewriter. 2022-06-29 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Jayson Cottle: 1953 Royal Quiet De Luxe Serial # RA-2979097 The Royal Quiet De Luxe certainly lives up to its name. It is the quietest typewriter I have used. So quiet, you think you have miss struck keys after typing on another typewriter and coming back to the Quiet De Luxe.
The Royal Quiet De Luxe a great typing machine. The feel of the keys is consistence in pressure throughout the keystroke. The strike of the type of slug crisp and consistent for every key on the board. It does have the typical problem of a hard platen. Using a second piece of standard copy paper as a backing for your primary sheet works well in this machine.
This machine is the first in my collection and was found at a goodwill in Vancouver Washington and was had to for $30.00. It's in perfect working condition with signs of extensive use. The back edge of the common keys are worn flat are worn flat and they right and left sides of the other common keys show scarring from fingernails, in addition to a rough patch on the spacebar from mini shifts with the right thumb.

Hello!
My name is Jayson, I live in remote Alaska, and I love the outdoors. My hobbies include hunting, fishing, hiking, camping, and when I'm traveling I'm collecting things I can't get locally. One item is typewriters.
Being remote such as I am the written or typed word is still very important, whether it is to keep in touch with family and friends or getting a shopping list to the store so a load of groceries can be sent out on the mail plane within a week or two.
Fun fact, in town mail gets flown to Anchorage 410 miles away to be sorted and flown back to be delivered In town! The perfect illustration of government at work. But I digress.


RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Royal Quiet De Luxe on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Royal Serial Number page and the Royal Quiet De Luxe By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
