Royal Custom III Blue Manual Typewriter and Case

The Royal Custom III is a manual typewriter from the 1970s, manufactured in Portugal during Royal’s later production years under Litton Industries. Known for its approachable design and vibrant colorways, the Custom III was marketed toward casual typists, students and home users seeking reliability in a portable form.

This model features a bright blue plastic body with contrasting ivory accents and a faux-leather textured panel around the keyboard. Functional highlights include the “Magic Margin” system, variable line spacing, and a red/black ribbon selector. The compact build and included hard-shell carrying case make it easy to take on the go.

Fully serviced, refurbished, and tested — this typewriter is ready to use right out of the box.

Expect typical cosmetic wear consistent with age, but overall solid performance from a vintage machine with unmistakable 1970s style.
