The first laptop? Found in a closet at Nana’s house. Said she used it in the 70’s and 80’s to bring work home. Seems to still work fine. It had a tune up in the 80’s, so you know it’s good. A cool, functional antique. There’s a spare ribbon in the case with it. You can send me questions, but I don’t know much about it. Here’s what Mr. internet says… The "Royal Custom III" is a popular manual portable typewriter manufactured in Portugal during the 1970s. These vibrant, two-tone machines (often deep red/white or blue/white with ivory keys) are beloved collectibles.

Nice working Brother Accord 12 portable manual typewriter with original case & manual/paperwork. This machine has a deep scratch in the badge on the front of the machine, as pictured. This does not affect the usability of the machine. This Brother Accord 12 types clean and crisp. The keys are light and springy.

I have heard the design went through many changes in this decade and it may resemble the model P versions as well. Needs cleaning but all is functional.
