Made in Holland (1950s – 1960s)

Excellent condition, cleaned and fully-functional with new ribbon. The Royal Royalite is a compact, ultra-portable manual typewriter produced by the Royal Typewriter Company in Holland during the late 1950s to mid-1960s. Designed for travel and light everyday use, it features a sleek, minimalist metal body and weighs around 4 kg, making it one of the most lightweight Royal models of its time. The Royalite was built with simplicity in mind—many versions omit a ribbon colour selector and tabulator, offering instead a clean, straightforward typing experience. Its crisp key action, dependable mechanics, and distinctive mid-century styling made it a favourite among students, journalists, and travellers. Supplied with a fitted carry case, the Royalite remains a charming and functional example of mid-century European design and American engineering heritage, valued by both typists and collectors today.
