Nice touch, great font (Elite I think) and importantly, quiet so in a 2 hr writings session you don’t have a headache!

I am looking at a 1940s quiet de luxe. Love the look, but really looking for a no-brainer typewriter for my first buy.

The 1950's Royal portables are one of the best machines Royal had ever produce. From my 1936 Royal Junior to the Royal ME25 the 1950's portable are the best!

They are one of my favorites, and every collection should have at least one.<br />This later 1950's model (like in your photos) is better than the earlier 50's version (that had the chrome trim around the ribbon color selector, and ribbon reverse levers).<br />Thanks for the posting!Don Lamperthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10033476212606822358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4555078404013090135.post-44984253395031038832014-04-13T08:40:19.114-07:002014-04-13T08:40:19.114-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Don Lamperthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10033476212606822358noreply@blogger.com
