Description:
My son found this one at a flea market in 2014, just as I was beginning to collect typewriters. He got it for $20 as I recall. The only adjustment needed is that the backspace doesn't engage properly. There is a little issue with the shift alignment as you can see in the type specimen.
Note that the serial number prefix is CM (not CU).
I always thought the soap dish front was unusual, but it definitely screams 60s/70s, putting it right in my wheelhouse. I was in 7th grade when this blue beauty rolled off the line. Alas, my wife demured when I suggested we do a photo shoot with it, her in a paisley mini skirt and me in tye dye. ~T~

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