What model of Royal portable is this?
Interesting prefix -- nothing in TWDB mentions a UB code:

Looks like its a Varsity, based on the TWDB. Its listed underneath the other portables for some reason. 1939, by the numbers listed there.

You're right -- I didn't scroll down far enough. (Why indeed are those put at the end of the portables?) A 1939 Varsity. Thanks.

Re: What model of Royal portable is this?
Are you considering buying it? $100 USD seems steep to me, even if it is a nice, basic portable. Then again, maybe that's average pricing for your area. I picked up this '39 Varsity for $40 CAD a couple of years ago:

Oh, no, no -- I agree; that's way higher than I'd go. $30 tops.
