Description:
Very much like a Royalite or 60's era Companion, with the distinctions of a two-tone color scheme and a ribbon cover that sits atop the main body of the typewriter. As an ultra-portable, it's compact and provides only the most basic features. It would not make for a comfortable typing experience in a long session, but it's convenient and has a sporty look to it. This specimen features an elite typeface and has just enough minor issues to prevent it from being a fun typing experience. Perhaps with some maintenance it will improve. Regardless, it is a keeper in my collection as I am fond of the Royalite form factor.

I am a writer, photographer, web designer, and musician, but I am proudly employed in a public library. I collect music, books, and of course typewriters. Interests include b&w movies, hockey, birds, dogs, cats, coffee, tea, anything British, philosophy, world religions, independent politics, animal rights, and so much more. I'm married without children, and we pamper our two dogs, Aunt Agatha and Miss Madeline. We will forever miss our orange tabby, Bertram. I live in Southern California's Riverside.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Royal Citadel on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Royal Serial Number page and the Royal Citadel By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
