1966 Princess (Keller und Knappich) 100 Serial # 415382 1966 Princess (Keller und Knappich) 100 typewriter, Serial # 415382 Elisa Makoon-Singh's 1966 Princess (Keller und Knappich) 100 typewriter. 2026-08-22 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Elisa Makoon-Singh: 1966 Princess (Keller und Knappich) 100 Serial # 415382 My pretty princess!

Purchased in Cádiz, España in August 2026 from the wonderful typewriter repairman Jose of Meganet: Mecanografía Gaditana. Jose had advertised himself on fb marketplace as a repairman, but when I reached out he was perplexed. He barely remembered having posted on Facebook, and was wondering who in the heck gets their typewriter fixed in 2026? Me! So he fixed my lovely Olivetti Studio 46 which was apparently missing an important spring to make the ribbon reverse properly without getting jammed.
Then when I told him I was a "coleccionista" he said maybe he could sell me a cool one from his personal collection. Later that day he messaged me with photos of two machines. One was a light gray Olympia SM3 which I passed on because I already have an SM3 (dark green) with teclado español that belonged to my abuelo. The other machine was this gorgeous beauty, the Princess 100. Jose said that he never uses his own typewriters and does not really bother with repairs on his own machines since he just likes to display them. But I know that almost any typewriter will type again with a little TLC. So I happily bought it from him. I couldn't hand over my wad of cash fast enough and he said, "Don't you want to look at it and inspect it before buying?" There was nothing to inspect. It was as beautiful as it was in the picture he'd sent me earlier AND I immediately noticed the script typeface. I doubt if he even knew he was selling me a script machine. And this is the first script machine in my collection.

I carried it on the plane back to the USA and promptly dropped it off to Rick at Karl Business Machines for that bit of TLC it needed. Apparently it needed a spring so that the line lock would not jam up the type bars. (Don't ask me about the technicalities - I am but a mere collector.)

She's a real beaut. I think I will name her after my favorite Disney Princess: Aurora.

I love to write and found that writing on a typewriter is the most enjoyable and distraction-free way of doing it. I started with an Alphasmart, then moved to a Royalite, then to an Olympia SM5. The Olympia kept me fully satisfied for a good seven years until I got the bit by the collecting bug. Now I am slowly amassing my own personal typewriter museum. Typewriters are like personal printing presses. My partner is an engineer who can fix and clean any typewriter, so we make a great team.
