That’s a nice royal, though the price is pretty steep!!

A nice 1932 Triumph with Fraktur Typeface.  I've never seen the back of one so I was surprised to see the "yellow plexiglass insert on the back which gives the inside of the machine a beautiful glow when the sun is shining."  All in all, a good reason to buy a lottery ticket.

An 1930's Yiddish typewriter made by the Barr-Morse Corporation. (Owned by John H. Barr, who played the "lead role in the revolutionary design for the first Remington portable typewriter."

A 1911 Erika #1 folding typewriter?  It looks pretty clean.  I think the holes in the giant folding hinges were only on the early ones.  Maybe they're to cut down on weight? I wonder why they changed it.  https://www.ebay.com/itm/MAQUINA-DE-ESCRIBIR-ERIKA-N-1-ANO-1911-PLEGABLE-TYPEWRITER-SCHREIBMASCHINE/163722929242?_trkparms=aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20160908105057%26meid%3Dc99f71f4c87f4537aae6ff585b2112c6%26pid%3D100675%26rk%3D2%26rkt%3D15%26sd%3D192956256396%26itm%3D163722929242&_trksid=p2481888.c100675.m4236&_trkparms=pageci%3A7a1f8c0f-92e3-11e9-8013-74dbd1802e2b%7Cparentrq%3A71e797b516b0abc0d9e98b21ffbf7758%7Ciid%3A1

I've never directly compared the inner components between the two models. Given that the FP was a product of the '50s, and the 440 was from the '60s, there would certainly have been differences and improvements; however, I wouldn't consider those manufacturing changes to be of consequence to a casual typewriter user in 2020. Both type well, and I'd be surprised if any typist today would be disappointed by either machine.

The underlying reality is that any superiority in build the 440 might have is completely irrelevant if its current condition isn't as good as the FP on sale beside it. 

The more important consideration to me, given they represent two very different design periods, would be their appearance, size, and type feel (also dependent on each individual model's condition). My subjective slant is to the FP. I prefer its '50s styling, more compact size, and denser keyboard. It's a more friendly machine on a home desk.

The 440 types just as well, but it really presents itself as a serious business typewriter. If I had to stick to a '60s Royal model, I would opt for the Empress over the 440. It's flamboyant persona is unique and unmistakeable; conversely, a 440 would become lost against a landscape of '60s office machines.
