Horizontal chromed bands

1936 Royal De Luxe A539135

I was impressed to find out a few months ago that the chromed bands are actually integrated into the body, rather than separate parts as they are on, for example, Olympia SM3s. That fact, combined with their sheer width, means they have a very massive look to them. As Richard Polt noted yesterday, the vertical black lines are decals, rather than grooves. (I had previously thought they were grooves too)

Olli Folly?

1972 Olivetti Lettera 32 6391963

I could have made my title "Olivetti Lettera" 32 times, like for the Oliver #5, but that would be silly.

My only excuse for buying so many typewriters so fast was so that I could get a lot of common typewriters at decent prices so on future eBay ventures I could focus only on the more special ones.
