This vintage Royal No. 3 portable manual typewritercomes in good to very good cosmetic condition, with minor finish and age wear, brittle & cracked rubber mounts (connecting machine to bottom of the case), keys in slightly uneven rows on the keyboard, and minor soiling from previous use (see pictures).
The unit is in overall good working condition (though it didn\'t produce great type; see sample), with good action on all the keys and carriage movements, but will need a new ribbon installed soon (ribbons available on and elsewhere for under $10).
The unit dates to the 1930\'s. It has the distinctive Remington body style (open key bank and ribbons), a gloss black finished body, with metal trimmed, glass topped brilliant white keys. It features 10-pitch (Pica) type size.
The typewriter comes with the original black fabric-clad locking case (no key) in decent to good condition, with scuff marks, worn fabric edges, light discoloration, and soiling. Also included is a wooden typewriter brush (stamped Underwood).
I have more typewriters, and a lot of other great vintage items available, and would gladly combine shipping for multiple purchases. Feel free to ask any questions or request more pictures.
