The dollar sign though closely resembles one on one of my Underwoods. The only one in my collection that is script+dollar sign+Pounds-Sterling is my Hammond.Bill Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14649212489891769390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2897251519490477449.post-17743328230011122482014-11-22T23:09:52.811-06:002014-11-22T23:09:52.811-06:00Royal was great about making some really interesti...Royal was great about making some really interesting/bizarre type styles. Unfortunately, this is not one of them. P.S. I still need to get registration on your amazing Typewriter Database figured out. I'll probably just do a new one.

The Smith-Corona is high up on the seldom seen script face list. Example in last entry: http://vintagetechobsessions.blogspot.com/2014/11/greetings-from-zombie-blog-and-parker.html<br />This one is even stranger and more obscure.
