Description:
Royal Mercury. By far, one of my favorite typewriters. This should be listed in the pantheon of typewriters with the Olympia SM3/9,Spendid66, Hermes 3000 and Olivetti 32s. Not sure why this doesn't get the recognition, because its type feel is amazing and you can find these at a reasonable price.
I guess we should enjoy the low prices now, until some YouTuber talks about it and they all go up to $300+ like some machines have... Let's keep this one a secret. Please...

I'm a software engineer in the Chicagoland area. I've been collecting "vintage" vinyl, computers, mechanical keyboards and typewriters since I was a kid. Born into an analog world, but grew up in a digital one.
My wife is a writer and I enjoy problem solving and puzzles, so naturally fixing I fell in love with fixing and maintaining typewriters and she then gets to enjoy all of these machines!
