Description:
Soooo much charm, beauty, style, and above all connection. This thing is 81 years old yet somehow still has a modern look about it. It has a fast, lovely, no-nonsense action; very similar to my Royal Arrow. Sadly, due to the strict "one in, one out" rule I have imposed on me, this is now living out its retirement years at my sister's house.
* It constantly drove me mad with inconsistent red typing - it would take 3 or 4 strikes to type properly in red. Ended up with just a black ribbon as it was beyond my skill set.

My first machine was an Everest Mod 90 that I bought after watching the Violet Evergarden anime in December 2021. My addiction/collection began then and now consists of 39 machines.
My absolute favourite remains (just) my 1939 Royal KMM. For me, it's both the prettiest and the "warmest" to type on. It has "Majik" ( a nod to Sandy1)
I count my blessings that I am lucky enough to have amassed such a beautiful bunch.
