Royal Quiet DeLuxe Retro Painted Purple w Red Carrying Case Made in 1955

Price $350 SOLD!!

The Royal Quiet De Luxe was a popular portable typewriter.  It made its first appearance in 1939, and they continued the mass production into the late fifties.  During that time, they were all made in the US... it wasn't until the sixties that Royal started making some of their typewriters in Japan, and then eventually, China, like everything else.  The Quiet model was renamed Arrow, and then went quite a few more changes, developing all the way up into the 80s.

The Royal KMM is close to being my favorite typewriter.  They started making them in 1938 and continued until almost 1950.  The older ones had round buttons instead of the square shift keys--there are a lot less of the round button ones than the squared.  Aside from changing the shape of the buttons, they also started making most of the frame from aluminum instead of the older steel.  Hence, the earlier, rarer ones are about twice as heavy.

Underwood sold a LOT of machines, and their machines were designed to take some serious abuse.  And so even though a lot of them are available, very few are 100% mechanically sound.  That's why we take special care to go over each and every function before listing it as 'restored.'

PRICE: $425!! SOLD!!

A taste of elegance mixed with the hard-working ruggedness, Royal typewriters have produced a lot of long-lasting machines.  This little prize is no exception.  We started with all of the original parts, and went through the features with a fine-tooth comb, making sure every thing worked as well as the day it was manufactured.
