Description:
My first Futura 800. I don't love the color, but I do love the condition and the feel. A good typer overall.
You can see how this is the inheritor of the earlier Royals, like the Aristocrat I also posted.
Really can't read the serial numbers on this to determine a date.
I already had this one in the DB, but I decided I like these pictures better.

I am a typewriter collector. I'm moving into a new phase; one where I am filling gaps and paying what's necessary to get what I want....
I know I take crappy photos. I just have an older iPhone and am impatient. When I get a real camera (or borrow one), I'll upload better ones.
The ironic thing is that I am a pretty good amateur photographer. My excuse is that I work in film almost exclusively....
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.
