1971 Royal Custom III Serial # CB8298195 1971 Royal Custom III typewriter, Serial # CB8298195 LaDonna Qualtieri's 1971 Royal Custom III typewriter. 2023-03-08 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of LaDonna Qualtieri: 1971 Royal Custom III Serial # CB8298195 The booklet is dated 10/1968 and features this model and the Sabre. The Custom III offers Select-A-Type, but only in pica or elite so probably not very helpful on this cursive model, except for symbols, even though it’s an option. It has a 3 position paper bail and a few other features not found on the Sabre. The faux upholstered “tuck and roll” look of the face plate is really cool. The color is a deep red, carmine, but not quite burgundy. Comparing the Script size to my known 12 CPI Remington, this is definitely larger, maybe 10CPI. Easier to read than the smaller script. It has not been fully restored, just brought back to life with minimal cleaning, new feet, and a fresh ribbon.

I have many pen pals and correspond via handwritten and typed letters. I have a (painful) sitting disability and type while standing- UPDATE! I can also type on an ultraportable I set up on my bed. Typing and collecting machines with different typefaces keeps me busy and happily distracted from the difficulties in life-fountain pens, too, and I can write legibly, in cursive, while laying down. Join me on Type Pals and register for the monthly postcard exchanges. The “Cat Mews” is a quarterly publication of the philatelic topical group Cats On Stamps Study Unit (COSSU), for which I am a column contributor. My cats are Wiffle Wizard and Urushi (Rushi) Blizzard, aka the Blizzard Sisters.


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