1930 Royal P Serial # P214304 1930 Royal P typewriter, Serial # P214304 Ben Williams's 1930 Royal P typewriter. 2025-07-08 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Ben Williams: 1930 Royal P Serial # P214304 Red duotone 1930 model P. Types quite nicely in a 10cpi Elite. Will occasionally not advance a space but that is more likely down to technique and typing too quickly. Some chipping on the paint as well as some crazing which is mostly on the ribbon covers. Part of the right platen knob has broken off. The rubber is rock hard all around and should be replaced if I get to it.

New to typewriters and greatly enjoy using them. Collection is growing and I love them all equally. Some more equally than others...
I like the idea of contributing to the collective knowledge of these machines.



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