1948 Royal Quiet De Luxe Serial # A-1503091 1948 Royal Quiet De Luxe typewriter, Serial # A-1503091 GK Mandigo's 1948 Royal Quiet De Luxe typewriter. 2025-07-07 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of GK Mandigo: 1948 Royal Quiet De Luxe Serial # A-1503091 Nickname: "Beatrice"
A lovely Dreyfuss machine. As was the case with my 1958 Smith-Corona Silent Super, this typewriter was purchased new by a young lady who kept it her entire life until passing. Her name was Beatrice. It was kept by her son for many years who chose to sell it now as he is now retiring and downsizing. All this machine needed was a clean and a new ribbon. Very light touch. This is my first glass-top key machine so enjoying that a great deal.

Metastatic cancer fighter and sudden cardiac arrest survivor who has gotten into vintage typewriter collecting after realizing that life is short and typewriters are fascinating. My machines range from 1947 to 1969 and I type on all of them and have given each of them a name. Have I mentioned that life is short? I am having great fun with this obsessi- I mean hobby. I live in San Diego, California.
