Step back into the golden age of mechanical writing with the Royal 204, a beautifully crafted portable typewriter from Japan.

Dating from the 1960s–1970s era, the Royal 204 represents the remarkable Japanese typewriter industry of the period. Machines of this family were associated with Silver Reed, a major Japanese manufacturer that produced portable typewriters for different brands and helped Japanese-made machines compete strongly in the international market.
