1957 Princess (Keller und Knappich) 300 Serial # 70969 1957 Princess (Keller und Knappich) 300 typewriter, Serial # 70969 Otto Koponen's 1957 Princess (Keller und Knappich) 300 typewriter. 2024-10-23 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Otto Koponen: 1957 Princess (Keller und Knappich) 300 Serial # 70969 Princess 300.
German layout, Ro88 Bruxelles typeface.

The whole basket, paper bail, and margins have been plated in gold. This predates the sales of the "Präsident" model which had all the chrome parts and bottom shell plated in gold by some years. Whether this is a custom job, prototype, or parts from a Präsident model transplanted onto the body of an older 300, is unclear.
