  1. Woah. That's quite a find. And yes, I'm incredibly jealous.

    1. Some of the best finds are accidental. I wasn't even really looking for a Vogue Royal at the time, I just was randomly drawn by the immaculate condition to have a closer look at the listing. :)

  2. I'm so jealous anyway - even without knowing the price... :)

  4. Looks like the typewriter is factory fresh! Congratulations! You have been getting quite a few nice machines lately, but I have to pick this one as the best. I have been looking for one with Vogue for about 3 years.

    1. Back when I was actively searching for a Vogue machine (far before I got this, as this one just popped up and I looked at the listing by chance) I would look at every Royal Model P with a buy-it-now price that was listed. With the open top like they have, you can see the typeslugs on most listings. A buy-it-now listing is the only way to get one affordably (which usually means $100+ which is not really affordable), because at auction they always go so high.

  6. Amazing. It's so hard to find a two-tone model P that still has its paint in such great condition. And Vogue too!

  9. You wouldn't possibly be interested in parting with this machine, would you? :-)

  11. I keep finding myself coming back to this. Ever since you first published it. Still the most beautiful Model P I have ever seen.
