The typewriter works well, with the exception of the letter "O" that sticks. It does need a new ink ribbon, and the outer steel case shows age staining/discoloration.

The typewriter is serial number O-477125, dating it to 1938, and marked Royal Typewriter Co., Inc.

Fresh estate find, I have not cleaned or taken apart. Works great, T key sticks and it needs to be cleaned inside which should solve the sticking problem. Ribbon needs to be replaced it looks used up. I see no rust, stored indoors, dusty. I am not a typewriter expert. Case is missing one of the front black rivets, no key, scuffs and wear on case but it is functional and sturdy. All rubber feet on typewriter and case. Old piece of tape partially covering back decal. Your purchase supports Boys and Girls Clubs of America. 🙂

The typewriter is in good physical condition with typical light soiling to the outer body. The typewriter works pretty well, with the overall action of the keys being a bit stiff (a little harder to strike than most typewriter keys).

In good used condition. The Machine powers on and types—sample shown. Keys respond well. Everything seems to work and function as it should. This is a clean, complete example that would be great for collectors, writers, or display.

Very few blemishes. Photos are good to judge. The original platen, paper feed (may need to use paper release to align paper), feet, back space, margin release, shift lock, tab are in good working condition and the ribbon feed, new ribbon, light bell work well.

It will need a new cartridge. Works. I will be uploading a video soon. Case has a plastic piece sticking out and one of the clasps is missing. Typewriter is in good shape. Will need a little dusting/cleaning. I did give it a light cleaning

Royal Classic Typewriter - Blue. Good cosmetic condition. Everything seems to move freely and correctly. I can get it to type by striking the keys hard, but it probably needs a bit of adjustment and tweaking to type reliably. I wouldn’t say that it types easily right now. There is also a metal bar that was rattling around on the inside that I am including. It is in some of the pictures.

Featuring a classic gray crinkle finish paired with striking hunter green keys, this machine embodies the aesthetic of the 1950s. While the machine is functional and the keys strike the platen, it will require a fresh ribbon for optimal performance.

This cute little honey works great. See photos for cosmetic condition. Paint has some scratches. The case has a broken zipper, but it stores and transports better inside the case.

We have cleaned the machine, oiled the strikers and installed a new ink ribbon. Overall a very nice machine!
