Description:
Nicely working, if very basic typewriter. No touch control, ribbon bichrome or tabulator. Still a fine typer despite the inexpertly done repaint job. Why can't they just mask off the labels before whipping out the Krylon?

I am a scoundrel without a cause, and my swank outshines the sun.
I am a casual Typewriter Hunter residing in the sweltering deserts of Arizona with a wife, three cats and about 50 typewriters. My main hunting ground is thrift stores, and I rarely pay more than $10 for a machine. My collection consists mainly of portables with cases, and they stay in the cases unless I am actively using it (usually more than one at a time). I do, however keep a handful of interesting Selectrics, including a Composer and a couple of large Nakajima Electronics to use as daisywheel printers for my vintage laptop collection.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Royal (Silver-Seiko) Signet on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Royal (Silver-Seiko) Serial Number page and the Royal (Silver-Seiko) Signet By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
