1954 Royal HH Serial # 5343992 1954 Royal HH typewriter, Serial # 5343992 Zachary Thompson's 1954 Royal HH typewriter. 2021-08-12 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Zachary Thompson: 1954 Royal HH Serial # 5343992 One of three machines that my dad found in the basement of what is now Randall & Roberts Funeral Home in Fishers, IN. This was the most broken of the three, it turned out, as a missing pinion pawl allowed the carriage to swing freely. A parts machine purchased from SGW supplied a new pawl and side panel, and it will never be beautiful.
