Royal
Metal Desktop Manual Typewriter
KMG Model, Circa Late 1940s
The Royal KMG was a staple of the post-WWII American office, known for its heavy-duty construction and "Magic Margin" feature. This manual desktop model features a gray crinkle-finish metal body and a robust carriage design typical of Royal's mid-century manufacturing excellence. As a heavy office-grade machine, it was engineered for high-volume correspondence before the widespread adoption of electric models.
