Typewriter, 1930 Royal Portable

$1,095.00 AUD

 This Royal portable was made in the US in 1930 and is in a wonderful shiny black enamel colour. It has the old classic style glass topped keys with silver chrome surrounds in a vintage off white colour with black coloured letters and numbers. These are all in a very nice condition with just some minor discolouration to a few. The typewriter has the standard "elite " type face size so types with 12 letters to the inch.

Please note that in some of our images there is some reflection of the map from behind on the black enamel of the typewriter. 

It has the Royal logo on the carriage as well as the Royal logo and manufacturers patients details on the back. The black gloss paint has a few small marks and scratches and signs of wear mainly on the top front corner edges, but is generally in a good condition as is the silver chrome work. 

Its a very nice compact size being 27 cm wide x 28 cm deep x 11 cm high.

This typewriter has been professionally cleaned, serviced, adjusted and tested and we have fitted new rubber feet. It is in full working order and fitted with a new top quality American made plain black ribbon on metal spools so its all ready for you to start typing on. 

We can supply Group 9 typewriter ribbons from $14.95 each including postage. Available in plain black, red/black and a range of universal ribbons in other colour options. You can either rewind the new ribbon onto the metal spools currently in the typewriter or drop in the new Group 9 or Universal spools and ribbon. 

There is a wooden carry case with a leatherette covering which is also in a very good functional condition with some small general marks and signs of wear. It has a working metal brass clasp and original leather handle. 

This is a highly collectable 1930's vintage typewriter in a good working condition with classic black enamel colour and glass topped keys and would make a wonderful and special gift. We also include a copy of an original general Royal Portable manual.

"My Olivetti arrived a couple days ago. Got a chance to test it out and it works like a dream (you wouldn’t guess it was nearly half a century old). Thank you for including the original metal spools, it adds a great touch to the machine. Looking forward to adding another typewriter to the collection sometime soon..." - Jake
