Royal handheld

[suckolux]

New toy given to me, had one ages ago, I think a 1 amp all blue, this one is 1.2 amp and has Royal written on top of the bag. Age range? and is the small screw on the side of the handle to oil? Totally a guess.

sorry, very tired. Royal written in red on top of the bag with a red crown. Model #501, Serial #B111598

You have one from 1976-77 going by the serial #.

An example of a complete serial # is 67C-B-87109. "67C" is read year 1976, decade 1970s, and month (C=March).

Thanks, is that small screw on the handle for oiling?

Reading glasses, 67 m or w

 

[kirbyclassiciii]

That would be: 67M-B-111598 ("67M" is December 1976).
