Royal Portables started in 1926 with serial #1, then 1927 ranged between #6000 and #56500, then 1928 was 56500 to 114500.Tedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16774432656602082311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-881842661768630727.post-59758024382905341222011-08-29T12:49:55.568-07:002011-08-29T12:49:55.568-07:00Wow Julia yours is even earlier than mine!

Anyone know any more about it? White keys also. No advertising on mine. Also, there is no decal on the front of mine and it's very clean, not sure there ever was one.Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07158145205260746618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-881842661768630727.post-3735889823359391882011-06-05T13:36:57.614-07:002011-06-05T13:36:57.614-07:00'Tis beautiful.
