Description:
A gift from Gerren at Hot Rod Typewriter Company, an example of his "Swirly" period. I feel incredibly lucky to actually obtain one of his amazing works - and of course its name is "Wonka" for reasons that ought to be very obvious. :D

I am a scoundrel without a cause, and my swank outshines the sun.
I am a casual Typewriter Hunter residing in the sweltering deserts of Arizona with a wife, three cats and about 50 typewriters. My main hunting ground is thrift stores, and I rarely pay more than $10 for a machine. My collection consists mainly of portables with cases, and they stay in the cases unless I am actively using it (usually more than one at a time). I do, however keep a handful of interesting Selectrics, including a Composer and a couple of large Nakajima Electronics to use as daisywheel printers for my vintage laptop collection.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Royal Diana on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Royal Serial Number page and the Royal Diana By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
