Clearly the best vintage treasure I have ever stumbled across. Ever. This is the very model and year Royal typewriter that my mother had when I was a child. It was vintage then, produced in the early 1940's, pre-World War II.
I found one today in a shop across town. For TEN smackers. Yeah HUH! I am simply euphoric. This typewriter is the reason I loved writing stories as a child, the reason I wrote poetry throughout my adolescence, the reason I will now have a smile on my face for several months...
