Acquired 1957 Royal FP Standard Typewriter (Royal-McBee Corporation)

Serial number: FPP-6164099
Standard platen, pica typeface, in Royaltone or Pearl Light Gray smooth

Received in generally workable shape, though without ribbon; definitely dirty; internal foam disintegrating; brights are going to need a load of polish; temporary photos to provide some idea of condition until I get the chance to clean it up.

My wide carriage 1958 FPE was so nice I thought I’d try out the larger face in a more traditional carriage.
