1957 Royal Companion Serial # 3721836 1957 Royal Companion typewriter, Serial # 3721836 Massimo Martelancz's 1957 Royal Companion typewriter. 2020-10-26 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Massimo Martelancz: 1957 Royal Companion Serial # 3721836 Although very similar, this Royal Companion typewriter appears to be a very simplified model compared to the little older Quiet de Luxe. Many features are missing: the tabulator, the "magic margin", the "touch control", the two paper support rods. Others are simplified, such as the change of direction of the ribbon operated by a hidden lever, the "Royal" logo, a simple poor decal. But the great mechanical Royal quality is still the same. I found inside the case the original warranty coupon of the time
with the purchase date June 22nd 1958

I have been an Italian typewriter collector for many many years. At that time, I loved very old typewriters from late 1800s to early 1900s. After a break of a few years I returned to collect typewriters but no longer so old, I prefer now the design of the 40's, 50's and 60's. Yes, I am an affectionate collector of Olivetti, of course, but I'm attracted to all the other brands from that period, not just Italian.
