Vintage from the 1950s Read the full description Materials: Glass, Iron, Rubber, Chrome This is a Royal FP standard (desktop) typewriter in two-tone gray. The Royal FP standards were made in the 1950s and came in a wide range of colors. These machines were some of the last manual desktop typewriters, as electrics soon began dominating the marketplace. The Royal FP, like previous Royals, was reliable, easy-to-use, and could type words like battleships fired shells. This machine has an unusual 16" wide carriage and uncommon elite typeface. **COSMETIC CONDITION** Cosmetically, this Royal FP is in pretty good condition. These machines had a decidedly modern look for their times, and are still gorgeous to look at. This gray version was the most commonly made, with this example retaining its original cosmetic appeal. There are some wear and use marks, but nothing substantial. As a standard, or desktop, model, this FP does not have a case. **RECOMMENDED BUYER** I would recommend this Royal desktop to anyone who wants an iconic, working antique typewriter of distinction and beauty. The FP is a mid-century beauty and will draw the eye of anyone who sees it. Whether you want a decorative or useable machine, this Royal fits the bill. The Royal FP is a workhorse machine designed to be used and used a lot. This is a large, reliable, capable typewriter that will feature as a prominent design element anywhere you place it. Will need cleaning and TLC (reducing price to reflect) Typewriter works. May need ribbon. Last pic shows one just like it on ETSY selling for $765
