Royal Model 10: 1932

Royal Model 10: BEFORE CLEANING
By the way, this typewriter is the heaviest in my collection.

In the early morning or early evening when it is too cool to type outside,
this little platform in the Music Room is my favorite place.

Corona 3 Folding & our 2nd Type-In


A very early "laptop", at my favorite writing space in the house, the little platform
James built for me on top of the low bookshelves in the Music Room.
The Corona 3 fits neatly into its tiny case. I was pleased to find the manual included!
All the decals on this machine are still in excellent condition.
I think the Corona dove is saying to me: "I bring you New Life, in the form of a Typewriter."
(This logo is on the left-hand side of the paper guide.)
Somehow, seeing these years printed on the back of the machine makes its age more tangible.
(Note the top of my head & camera in the reflection, finger on the shutter. Ah, art!)

Our 2nd "Type-In-of-Two" is about to begin! Here are the Corona 3 folding & Royal "O" cases.
I'm amazed how much smaller the Corona case is.

I'm having too much fun with Mike's Royal "O" portable, 1932.
