1956 Royal HH Serial # 5818885 1956 Royal HH typewriter, Serial # 5818885 Zachary Thompson's 1956 Royal HH typewriter. 2023-06-06 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Zachary Thompson: 1956 Royal HH Serial # 5818885 One of three machines that my dad found in the basement of what is now Randall & Roberts Funeral Home in Fishers, IN. Was in need of a minor repair, then gummed horribly when I went to use it again. It's still a little more crunchy than I like, and needs some alignment. Massive 21" carriage, likely purchased once whatever business outgrew what it could do on this HH's 1954 twin.
