Up for your consideration is a Vintage Royal Typewriter! It was made in the 1960s. According to my research this is the Royal "FP" model. It is a light green / grey-ish color.
This typewriter is VERY SIMILAR (identical if you ask me--but I'm not an expert by any means so I can't say for sure) to the typewriter Herb Cain used--the great and prolific newspaper columnist, the beloved and respected Pulitzer-Prize winner, who wrote for the San Francisco Chronicle and the San Francisco Examiner for nearly 60 years. All of his columns "came to life" with what he called his "Loyal Royal" typewriter (see last picture for the one he used).
For further info on this please see: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herb_Caen.
This "Loyal Royal" typewriter is exactly that! :) It is very good preowned vintage condition--especially considering its age! It works great, but will more than likely need a new ribbon soon. As with most vintage typewriters, it could benefit from a professional tuneup. It needs a light cleaning as well (I will leave that up to the new owner). It does NOT come with a case.
Whether you're a collector, novice or just looking for unique decor--this piece is sure to please!
I sincerely do not want to part with this typewriter, but recently had to move and need to free up space in my storage unit.
I'm only asking $60 OBO! All "reasonable" offers will be considered. It is priced for a quick sale so don't miss out on your chance to own this charming piece.
Please contact me via Americanlisted email, or call or text . Texting works best for me.
Thanks so much for taking the time to view my listing. I hope to hear from you soon! :)
