Re: Famous People and their Typewriters
Iris Murdoch had a Bijou 5 that was originally from the Palastinian Typewriter Company. This typewriter has keys for what was then Palastinian currency (Palastinian pound).
Incidentally, I have an identical one that Robert Messenger gave me.

The first one seems to be a Royal KMG (it seems to have gray paint; either KMG or rebuilt/refurbished KMM, but most likely a KMG).
The second one is a Royal KMM.
And the third is probably an Underwood no. 6.

Re: Famous People and their Typewriters
THank you OliverNo.9
I believe you are correct regarding the Royals.
I'm thinking maybe an Underwood Standard for the last one, given that the ribbon reels are visible from the side?
(I know practically nothing about typewriter models, myself, so I stand to be corrected.)
