Description:

This is my Royal 10 from 1925. I got it in 2022 for €30 through Kleinanzeigen (formerly EBay Kleinanzeigen).

I always wanted to have a Royal typewriter, preferably a KMM. However, these are pretty rare over here, so I settled for this model 10. I haven’t cleaned it yet but it still works okay. It has some patina, which I really like, and would definitely work even better after a proper cleaning. I still like its aesthetics right now.

I hope that it is complete, I haven’t checked images from other Royal 10s yet. However, what it needs is new feet (they disintegrated) and some new paper lock rolls, they are starting to disintegrate as well.

I'm a typewriter collector from the West of Germany (living in Wuppertal) and I am interested in various kinds of brands and types from pre- and post-WW2, particularly focusing on Seidel & Naumann (Ideal & Erika), Triumph-Adler and Smith-Corona (my favourite brand!), although I own some other brands and am looking at some others (Underwood, Remington). I particularly like portables, my favourite pre-WW2 typewriter being the Erika 5 and my favourite post-WW2 typewriter being my Smith-Corona Silent-Super. However, I most often turn to my Hermes Baby from the 1950s when travelling.

I got into this mess (i.e. collecting typewriters) when I got an Ideal DZ33 in mid-2020. It arrived damaged, which made me sad. To cheer me up I got an Erika 5 after that and then I couldn’t stop. As of July 2026 I own 30 complete typewriters, 1 in parts (an Oliver) and gave away 3 typewriters.
