Description:
This tiny beauty is a 1952 Royal Quiet De Luxe. A typewriter I longed to have. Bought for $30 from an artist who typed out price tags. Sold. I never gave this typewriter a chance. Everyone seems to have at least one RQDL. I longed for this machine. I never gave it the respect it deserved. I’m replacing this with an Underwood Champion to insert into my collection.
This machine types loose. A tinny toy-like experience. Perhaps the next owner will give it a chance and use it like a Royal Quiet De Luxe is supposed to be used. Consistently.

I purchased my first typewriter in 2000: Brother Pro-Line 707 built in 1969.
I wrote eight hours a day, seven days a week on that tiny machine. I wrote my first unpublished novel and hundreds of short stories on the Brother.
In 2020 I decided to purchase my second typewriter. At ten and counting, I still use and collect these amazing tools for writing.
