Entstehung 18

1939 Torpedo 18a 234156
















Entstehung ≈ Genesis

I didn't want to call it Genesis 18, because Sodom and Gomorrah.
If you ever want a really strange read… anyway, the German word sounds cooler.

  1. It's very handsome, and a tasteful amount of chrome. I think the Royal O could use more chrome. (:

    .. and that last photo is stunning! (:

    1. I think the Royal De Luxe is pretty much the perfection of the Model O in appearance. Perhaps the chrome is a little -too- excessive on it, but I still love it anyway, the showoff that it is. ;D

      Thanks. :)

  2. That's a fine machine. Mr. Montgomery out in Bremerton helped reopen that factory after the war. He's interesting to talk to if you get the chance.

    1. I've been thinking of planning a trip to see him, now I'm convinced I need to go.

    2. Take that with you, he'd be thrilled to see it.

  3. PS: You should certainly see Mr. Montgomery (whom I haven't met). I am very glad I got to meet Manson Whitlock a few months before he died.
