A Movie Set Rental

A 1938 Royal Quiet de Luxe in brown.



I really like this airplane lugguge carrying case that came with selected QDL's.


One of my personal favorites, a Corona Silent flat top model.


A 1947 Remington Noiseless Model Seven.

This machine was more fun to type on than I thought.
