Description:
Even simpler than the Junior (link), as they eliminated the shift function. And they ran ads on the benefits of not having this "confusing" function .
So a metal spacebar, single color ribbon, one platen knob, one carriage release lever and no right side margin stop/release which also killed the bell. All for $29.50.
A quickie clean and despite a platen that has been hammered on, it leaves a pretty good type sample.
Happy Endings!

Typewriters are the perfect blend of using one's technical skills, history and functional purpose. My goal is type tested machines. My interests are not isolated to anyone area. For example, I am a big fan of Smith Corona electrics, mid century electrics and all things Royal.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Royal Signet on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Royal Serial Number page and the Royal Signet By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
