Anyway, I haven’t been able to find any information on them even being made in Canada – I know they were made in Connecticut so this is very confusing to me. The previous owner – whoever they are and for whatever reason – had the ‘Royal’ logo on the front and back, as well as the “Made In Canada” covered up with black hockey tape?! Some people are bizarre… I do live in Canada so was wondering if maybe it was illegal to have it here at some point, since it says “Not for export” on the back, and that maybe that was why they had all of the logos covered up. I should also note that it says “Made In Canada” on the front, although it is very difficult to read. This data will appear in green colour – green stands for the hope :-) In my opinion, it’s very important to focus this information in the database, even when it might be fragmentary sometimes. Step by step, I’ll add data, which was researched by other collectors or by myself. For some of the brands, there are no serial numbers available yet and I try to help with some information about the years of production in these cases. The data in the database is pretty reliable, since listings of different sources were compared and evaluated, but please don’t hold me responsible for any mistakes in old listings. Its primary task is to help collectors, to date their typewriters, by the serial numbers of the machines. This side was created for collectors of antique typewriters, with the help of many old documents and other collectors. But when you see the number of given brand names, it’s still only a beginning. As far as I know, it’s even the most complete collection of serial numbers ever. The “Database” is probably the biggest source of typewriter serial numbers in the Internet today.
