History and Basic Info
The Royal KMM was manufactured by Royal Typewriter Co from 1939-1946 and is the successor to the Royal KHM . The KMM was Royal's standard that introduced Magic Margins. These are fairly common standards, as many were made and preserved. These are nice, solid machines, and are a great collection to any addition.
