Here is a lovely antique Royal Portable "A" model manual portable typewriter manufactured in the United States in 1934. This run of typewriters by Royal featured a tabulator key, and was an earlier prototype of the later De Luxe line of typewriters. This typewriter is in beautiful condition and has a brand new black and red ink ribbon already installed (you can type in black or in red). The machine is very clean and looks great! All functions have been tested and are working normally. Typing is very smooth and snappy. The typewriter features glass keys, which are in great shape. This typewriter comes with a convenient carrying casing, making it great for someone on the go.
Please see the last photo for a full type sample from this machine.
Serial #: A378265
All typewriters sold by Memory Hole Vintage are fully functional and are sold with a brand new ink ribbon previously installed, unless otherwise noted. This means that all major functions work as expected and all keys type normally. As with most vintage typewriters, a key may stick or mistype occasionally, but that is to be expected of older machines. These typewriters have been cosmetically cleaned, but will include varying degrees of internal dust, scuffing, and other cosmetic imperfections. Please examine the photographs for a clear understanding of the machine you are buying. Happy typing!
