Description:
Something utterly beautiful about the lines on this machine. I just wished its action were as beautiful. Somehow the typing experience on my example though doesn't compare to my Non-Tab Portable or the Torpedo / Blue Bird this is supposedly based upon. I found this rather clanky. It has a charm about it though, almost French if that makes any sense. I had to think long and hard about letting this one go.

Relatively new to the hobby - My first machine was an Everest Mod 90 that I bought after watching a Violet Evergarden anime in December 2021.
My collection now consists of a nice, round, 40 machines . . . and any new addition will be on a strict "one in - one out" basis.
My absolute favourite remains (just) my 1939 Royal KMM. For me, it's both the prettiest and the "warmest" to type on. It has "Majik" (with a nod to Sandy1)
I count my blessings that I am lucky enough to have amassed such a beautiful bunch.
