Royal Heritage 1959
I was receintly given a Royal Heritage portable typewriter of 1959. It was terribly dirty. I took the case off and throughly cleaned it. Some sound proofing was gone so I replaced it with heavy felt. I can't believe how quiet it types now, and how solid it feels. Another surprise was that the casing was heavy aluminum rather than steel. I had only seen an aluminum casing on a late 50's Tower Citation before. It was my understanding that the machines were getting cheaper as late 50's rolled by. (Or made lighter) Not this guy.

Re: Royal Heritage 1959
What's the serial number on that Heritage? 1959 seems really early for that particular model, which essentially is a rebranded Futura. A photo would be nice too.

Re: Royal Heritage 1959
Interesting. Should be a '59 model then. I didn't realise that the Heritage was introduced that early. Photos?
