Description:
This was my grandmother's typewriter and my first introduction to them as a child. She passed away 25+ years ago and my uncle had it up in his attic. He gifted it to me when I told him about my fond memories with my grandma and the typewriter. I am so grateful to have this piece of family history and a connection to the woman I really loved and looked up to.

Novice typewriter enthusiast. My first experience with a typewriter was with my grandma and her letting me type away on hers for hours without a single complaint (she was an angel). My love for vintage fountain pens, my favourite grandma and an appreciation for practical antiques/art has brought me here. One of the most rewarding thing so far about this hobby has been the very interesting and wonderfully helpful I've been introduced to.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Royal Mercury on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Royal Serial Number page and the Royal Mercury By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
