Coincidentally, Joe Van Cleave just posted about his old friend, his Royal Mercury, which also put me in the mood to have one.
And now there are Six Royal Mercuries in the TWDB.
And here’s this one.

Until I read Joe’s post I never gave thought to these machines. Now with your post if one appears locally I may let it follow me home.
You should. The Silver-Seikos are a nice machine to type on. Same metallic ping as the metal-shelled Brothers, but I’ve already added some soundproofing to the ribbon cover. Along with the new rubber grommets, that takes the edge off and gives it a nicer more businesslike sound.
Very nice! I like what you did with those grommets. I see a trip to the hardware store in my future.
You got lucky, the keys aren’t yellowed.
inorite? both of my white-keyed Silver Seiko Royals have no yellowing on the keys, which I gather is common on these. The Thrift Gods are so nice to me :D
Rev. Munk, I’ve registered with the TW Database (under the user name “JoeV,” and I’m requesting to be a “made” TW Hunter. I couldn’t find the “reply’ link within the TW Database site itself, hence why I’m requesting here. Thank you.
You are now a “made” man. Welcome Typewriter Hunter! (:
Hey Mr. Munk!
This is Jake, I am a collector in the North Phoenix area. On February 21 from 2-3, I am doing a little presentation at the North Valley Regional Library entitled “21st Century Typewriting.” I will be doing a short presentation about the history of typewriters, show people proper method, and then let them take a spin on my machines was wondering if you could let anyone who might be interested: just spread the word. Thanks! –Jake
