1954 Royal HH Serial # HHE-5860104 1954 Royal HH typewriter, Serial # HHE-5860104 Jacob OBoyle's 1954 Royal HH typewriter. 2023-05-14 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Jacob OBoyle: 1954 Royal HH Serial # HHE-5860104 Got this machine for free off of FB Marketplace. When I got it, it had there horrific yellow letter tags on its keys, which were taken off to reveal blank keys: a teaching machine! I immediately covered up the keys with modern tacky letters, as I couldn't touch type at the time. Now, however, is the time to send her on her way, and sell her on Marketplace. Vicious cycle.

I'm a relatively new collector hunting for anything inexpensive that I can get my hands on, functionality being a second thought. I have to learn somehow, right!?
