I must admit, it will be hard to get rid of this typewriter and I may just keep it.

#Royal quiet deluxe typewriter manual

But, as a true lover of manual typewriters, I couldn’t pass it up 🙂 Though most everything else was pretty cheap at the sale, they had a pretty steep price on this typewriter. So, I have a special passion for a good manual typewriter. I generally write all of my current poetry on that typewriter. If you have followed my blog for any length of time, you’ll know that I love my 1966 Smith-Corona Super Sterling. It was an old Royal typewriter in the original case.ġ947 Royal Quiet DeLuxe -Photo Luke Austin Daugherty

Then, I felt a “disturbance in the force” and looked around… I saw a beautiful sight from across the large room. As I moved from table to table, I picked out a few decent picks at a bargain price: a vintage leather briefcase, an old cosmetic travel case, and one or two other items. So, from the thrift stores, auctions, garage sales, and junk yards I frequent, I bring you, “My Pick of the Week.”įor installment #1, I have a good one for you! After going to my youngest daughter’s soccer game this morning, I saw that a church was having a rummage sale across the street. I’ve thought for some time about sharing some pictures and information about them on my blog. But, I also run across some very cool, interesting, and/or rare items regularly. I tend to buy and sell a lot of the same types of things weekly: vintage clothing, electronics, shoes, housewares, etc, etc. The primary being, “Brother Luke’s Treasures.” After purchasing an item, it goes on one of my ebay stores. Truth be told, creativity is very useful when picking. I buy and sell as my main trade outside of creative pursuits. I don’t reference it often in my articles. Overall, if you're looking for a nice '40s typewriter that still can be used pretty heavily and reliably, then this is an excellent choice.(BIG NEWS! -I just listed this typewriter on ebay!) Link to ebay postĪs a reader of my blog, you probably don’t know what I do for a living besides writing and music.

ĭespite trying to clean the front of the case, it still appears to be dirty, but the buyer may have better luck if they wish.

This typewriter uses universal ribbons which are sold on this website, and the owner's manual can be downloaded for free here. As with other QDL models, this machine is extremely easy to use and care for. Despite being from the '40s, this typewriter has just about every single feature the later Royal QDL models had, and it looks classier at the same time. Mechanically, this typewriter is pretty solid and is an excellent typewriter to type with. Some of the keytops are slightly cloudy/foggy looking for some reason, however that's pretty much it (see photos). The crinkle paint finish is in great shape, as well as the chrome. Cosmetically, there isn't too much to complain about.

This typewriter was Royal's last portable which had 'glass keys.' This typewriter is in excellent shape overall, and is fully functional right down to the bell. Up for sale is a nice old Royal Quiet Deluxe which was made in 1948.
