Description:
Paid way too much for this at a thrift store, but having passed it by once, I came back a couple days later to find the usual kids in thrift stores damage. Nothing permanent, but I felt sorry enough for the poor thing to rescue it. On further inspection, I find it in good shape, and I oughta break even flipping it. Pica typeface.
Sold. Broke exactly even, and it has a new home with a happy owner. We'll count that one as a rescue. :D

I am a scoundrel without a cause, and my swank outshines the sun.
I am a casual Typewriter Hunter residing in the sweltering deserts of Arizona with a wife, three cats and about 50 typewriters. My main hunting ground is thrift stores, and I rarely pay more than $10 for a machine. My collection consists mainly of portables with cases, and they stay in the cases unless I am actively using it (usually more than one at a time). I do, however keep a handful of interesting Selectrics, including a Composer and a couple of large Nakajima Electronics to use as daisywheel printers for my vintage laptop collection.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Royal Quiet De Luxe on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Royal Serial Number page and the Royal Quiet De Luxe By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
