1954 Royal Quiet De Luxe Typewriter

My daughter mentioned that she was going to an antique market in Aberfoyle, On. Just outside of Guelph one day. I mentioned to here that I wanted a manual typewriter.
I had an electric one while I was in University but it was long gone.
She called me and asked if $35 was an OK price.
I think it was a Fantastic price.
This what she picked up.



The has seen better days and was really dusty. I cleaned up the best I could.


Pretty sure it is not meant to travel too much, even though it is portable. I weights a ton.

It does come out of the case.



The black ink ribbon that came with it worked but I picked up a Typecast Brown/black ribbon and it worked great.


Now it does not like cardstock weight paper. It just slides around but I am ok with that.
It has lots of features that I am still figuring out. Like the missing #1. I used the lower case "L".



And it goes nicely with my Cocoa Daisy August 2017 Planner Kit.(September planner)

I can't wait to used the kit and do some typing for it.
