Description:
The platen appears brand new. The whole machine does although there is a dead bug nest in the inner folds of the left ribbon! I use a mini loose leaf binder as a log book and this machine handles it very well, despite, or maybe because, it does not have a paper bail rod. This is the 12 cpi Spencerian script. I’ve heard the 10 cpi Royal Spencerian script machines are rather rare, yet I have TWDB to find a sample and admire it! SOLD Dec 2023

I have many pen pals and correspond via handwritten and typed letters. I have a (painful) sitting disability and type while standing- UPDATE! I can also type on an ultraportable I set up on my bed. Typing and collecting machines with different typefaces keeps me busy and happily distracted from the difficulties in life-fountain pens, too, and I can write legibly, in cursive, while laying down. Join me on Type Pals and register for the monthly postcard exchanges. The “Cat Mews” is a quarterly publication of the philatelic topical group Cats On Stamps Study Unit (COSSU), for which I am a column contributor. My cats are Wiffle Wizard and Urushi (Rushi) Blizzard, aka the Blizzard Sisters. IRL friend on here is Zach Hubbird
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Royal Aristocrat on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Royal Serial Number page and the Royal Aristocrat By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
