New Arrival: Royal Arrow 1948


I love the sleek, "modern" lines of this typewriter's profile, as well as the
way the space-bar integrates with the frame on each side.

I've always wanted a typewriter with "tombstone" keys -- now I've got one!
The slightly concave shape is very comfortable on the fingertips.

This artistic logo is in the center of the paper table, which, by the way, hides
the left & right margin sets underneath. Nice touch!

As you can see, the paint on this Royal Arrow has held up extremely well,
with only a few small nicks.

This typewriter looks a lot smaller out of its case.



POSTSCRIPT: Ted pointed out that this body style did not appear until 1948. Thanks, Ted!
