Description:
HH Elite with a 15" platen. Bought clearanced for $20 at a consignment shop. The first HH I've found in the wild, so with Elite typeface and a large platen, it was coming home with me despite the condition being less than ideal. Does seem to have full function, but very dusty and a little rusty.
Did not come with spools, so need to buy an appropriately sized ribbon and spools before taking a type sample.

I am quite new to the typewriter world (first bought 6/2023), but I sort of jumped right in with three typewriters in my first week. I am interested in the mechanics of manual typewriters, as well as have an affinity for cleaning up long-forgotten gems. I'm a Smith-Corona fiend, but any nice typewriter will do!
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Royal HH on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Royal Serial Number page and the Royal HH By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
