Full Working Condition. Thought this typewriter works and I quite like the look of the build, I do not enjoy writing on this machine. I find the keyboard edges to make it a bit tighter for full finger fluidity and my fingers slip between the keys frequently. I do love Royal's approach to more futuristic builds, especially during the space race 60's as this machine reminds me of an alien space craft.

Though I have had a love for typewriters since I was a kid (in the 90's) I didn't start collecting in earnest until 2020 (having had 3 typewriters still in my posession and several long gone). Since then, I have become an avid collector, focusing primarily on fully functional manual typewriters. After collecting more than 30, I determined that my favorite Brand overall is Smith Corona and I attempt to hone my collection in that direction. Here's the preservation of one of the best storytellers we've ever known!!
