Description:

The last Royal standard and the direct descendant of the model 10. One generation builds it up and what follows is a steady decline. Families, businesses and empires, they all fade away.

This one owner time capsule was parked under the cover and in a closet for nearly forty years. A quick service and a little shine box here and there and she types and looks like new.

Photos:

An unusual ad from 1982 in that they even bothered to do one for a 470. It shows the 6x value of a used standard machine vs an early Selectric.

Typewriters are the perfect blend of using one's technical skills, history and functional purpose. My goal is type tested machines. My interests are not isolated to anyone area. For example, I am a big fan of Smith Corona electrics, mid century electrics and all things Royal.
