Description:
I saw this Italian beauty in an antiques store in Bridgeville, Delaware. I looked her over very thoroughly, but couldn't find a serial number. The Owner's Manual has a note on it that says the original (?) owner received it for Christmas in 1957, so I assume that's when it was made. She seemed to be in very good to excellent condition - just needed a good cleaning. Wish I could afford the $145.00 they were asking for her! Small, quick, light, and sleek - just like a Ferrari!

I'm an architect by day and an incorrigible tinkerer by night. I prowl thrift stores, auctions, and antique shops looking for old mechanical things to fix up. My entry drugs were fountain pens and wind-up tin toys, but before long I had gone to the harder stuff - watches and clocks. Finally, I broke down and decided to try "just one" typewriter - a 1948 Royal KMM. I told myself I wouldn't do any more until I got rid of it, but didn't know you could get hooked so easily. Fourteen typewriters later, I still have the KMM, and am still looking for that next fix. I'm expecting an intervention from the family soon.
