1959 Empire Aristocrat Serial # S2/366026 1959 Empire Aristocrat typewriter, Serial # S2/366026 Mitchell Dayton's 1959 Empire Aristocrat typewriter. 2023-10-19 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Mitchell Dayton: 1959 Empire Aristocrat Serial # S2/366026 An eBay find that came all the way from merry old England. Excellent licensed copy of the Hermes Baby/Rocket line, although possibly a tiny less refined. Still a wonderful typing experience. One drawback with these machines however. The keycaps are made from the same plastic that old screwdriver handles were made of, and it has a not-so pleasant aroma when initially opening the case. Pica 10cpi -Update 10-20-23- This machine was passed on to TB Writers Plus to find a new home.

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