Antique 1921 Royal Typewriter Model 10, RARE double glass-panes.This is a Royal Model Number 10 Desktop Typewriter. Made in the 1920's with serial number X-276631.

The Royal Model 10 is probably “the” classic historic American typewriter. The Model 10 began in late 1913 and the first variation had two open rectangular holes in the sides, surrounded by pinstriping. The Model 10 took off in the competitive typewriter market of the day and continued to be popular all the way through 1934 (with nearly 1.5 million Model 10s produced during that timeframe). Royal marketed their Model 10 as being the sturdiest and strongest typewriters ever made. To demonstrate this, the Royal Typewriter Company purchased a small airplane in 1927, loaded it up with nearly 11,000 Model 10 typewriters, and dropped them from the air! Only 10 of them were damaged, a fact about which they thoroughly bragged. The executives at Royal during the roaring 1920s were thinking out of the box with their outlandish stunts to demonstrate just how great their typewriters really were, and still are to this very day!

This particular Model 10 has double cut-glass window panes on both sides and represents the second variation of the Model 10. This double-glass pane body style began in 1914 with serial number 212,000 and only ran until 1923 through serial numbers 745,308. From 1923 and for the remaining years of production, the third and final variation was implemented and is the most often seen today, the single pane versions.

Appears to be all original and Model 10s that are of this early double window pane variation and are in good condition are incredibly difficult to find. Comes from a per-free & smoke-free home.
