1961 Royal FP Serial # FPP7144926 1961 Royal FP typewriter, Serial # FPP7144926 Taylor Harbin's 1961 Royal FP typewriter. 2015-08-30 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Taylor Harbin: 1961 Royal FP Serial # FPP7144926 I snagged this beauty for $5 at a local thrift store. It was buried under some old boxes. Whoever came before me had no idea how to inspect a manual typewriter. The keys were jammed and the ribbon was tied around them. A few minutes later, I hauled it up to the counter and ask for some paper to test it with. Worked perfectly! It has a bigger body and a heavier touch than the KMM, but it's still a great machine.

I am a professional historian and writer. I have been collecting typewriters since 2013, and use them for all of my work (novels, short stories, poetry, non-fiction, and personal letters). I have a passion for all things antique, but hold a special place for these tools. Some of my collection is up for sale or trade, so if you see something you want, let me know!

Don't forget to check out my blog, Guts of Imagination, for more!


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