Angle on a Royal standard typewriter with a red body and a cream colored hood. Under the Royal badging it's really an Adler Universal 200.
I went searching at Star Typewriters yesterday for a nice mid-century Adler Universal.

As if he knew I was coming, Helmut had this lovely Royal/Triumph-Adler R 700 sitting right up front on the counter. It’s essentially a Royal-badged version of the Adler Universal 200 which was manufactured under the Litton regime. It’s a solid standard with some nice speed hiding under the hood. Helmut has added some nice touches of what he calls “lipstick” to zhuzh it up.
