Vintage Royal Portable Manual Typewriter with Carry Case — Not Working, Cosmetic Wear

Vintage Royal portable manual typewriter in its original carry case — a charming mid-century styled machine with the Royal logo on the front, full metal typebars and a typed test sheet in the platen. The turquoise body and cream keytops give strong visual appeal; keys, platen and carriage are present. Visible cosmetic wear includes yellowed/discoloured keytops, surface scuffs, paint chipping on the front edge and stains inside the case lid. A ribbon is fitted but prints faintly.

This lot suits collectors, prop stylists, vintage display projects or a hobbyist who wants a repair or restoration project. It makes an eye-catching display piece for a study, set design or shop window, or it can be serviced by someone experienced with manual typewriters to return it to typing condition.
