Offering an impeccably refurbished 1930s Royal Model O portable typewriter with a fantastic carrying case and key. The typewriter had been partially disassembled for refurbishment, servicing, and cleaning. It has also been professionally polished and waxed. There are a couple of tiny 1-2 millimeter size touchups to the stunning paintwork. All the glass keys are clear, glossy and flawless. The nickel plated metal parts have been cleaned and polished to match the "showroom" glossy deep black paint. Due to the exceptional glossiness of the original enamel paint, a clear reflection of the antique table surface can be seen on the black painted surfaces. The typewriter has pica for the typeface. All the letter slugs were individually cleaned for crisp type quality.
The portable Royal comes with its original carrying case and a key in nearly flawless condition, with barely noticeable minor wear to where the return lever rubs the inside of the case. A working key is a rare find for a typewriter from the 1930s, as they're usually long gone. The case has been fully cleaned. It received a coat of wax to the exterior, which gives it a soft shine, without being sticky. The lock takes a firm press on the latch to lock securely, and the key works very smoothly.
This is likely the nicest Royal Model O 'Standard' typewriter you will find. A lot of hours went into refurbishment, and it shows! A copy of the manual is included.
The Royal typewriter comes with a one (1) year warranty on the draw band (the cord which makes the typewriter carriage move). If the draw band should ever need to be replaced during this period, send it back for the service work, but wait for us to give you proper instructions on how to ship a typewriter safely. Shipping charges not included.
All items are professionally packaged with a great deal of care. Will ship via UPS Ground insured.
