_______________________________________
I was pretty excited to find this one at Goodwill. My other used to have one of these sitting on the shelf in her closet. It held a special fascination because she only took it out to write the occasional letter.
It turns out it was also the model my wife learned on.
This one has a decent case (except for the cheap twine substituting for a handle.)

Just a guy with a love for writing and vintage machinery. Naturally, I ended up here.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Royal Futura 800 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Royal Serial Number page and the Royal Futura 800 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
