A Tale Of Two Royals

Recently I have acquired some more typewriters. Here are a few of them.

1938 Royal KHM #2178944

This typewriter was purchased from a antique store for $30 haggled down from $85.

1952 Royal KMM #4820305

This typewriter was given to me by my Grandfather after he found it in a apartment he was cleaning. As you can see by the photo it has been rebuilt at some point in time (plastic keys).

As I was away on International Typewriter Day I did not get to post anything typewriter related then, so as a consolation please enjoy these pictures of my 1918 Underwood 5 that I got from Ian Brumfield in a trade at the 8th Annual Typewriter Gathering in Morgantown, WV, U.S.A.

 

A Recent acquisition and more Gigantor

A few weeks ago I got this

A 1927 Remington Portable 2 in the uncommon navy blue. It works well with one exception. The escapement rack has a missing tooth, so every time it hits that spot it will skip. I will either have to repair it or find a replacement.

 

As requested here is Gigantor with a extra wide piece of paper.

Behold Gigantor!

Its finally done.
