Highly collectible Royal model P Portable Typewriter dating from the late 1920s to early 1930s. This particular machine features Royal's highly sought-after and rare Blue Crackle / "Alligator-skin" textured lacquer finish, completed with classic gold lettering and beautiful glass-topped keys. Selling explicitly as a restoration project /"doing up" piece. It will require a fresh ink ribbon (standard 1/2-inch universal spools fit this machine) and a mechanical deep clean/service. Includes its original hard-shell carrying case.
